The rock-like object that came hurtling through the roof of a township home earlier this week definitely came from outer space, but its exact origin and makeup remained a mystery Thursday night. Yet scientists working with police on identifying the housewrecker appear close to consensus as there is talk of a press conference in the next few days that might end the speculation, said Peter Elliott, a Colts Neck metallurgist who has volunteered to help police. Elliott said the object has extraterrestrial origins, but was reluctant to give more specific details until all the scientists involved reach an agreement.
A metal, rock-like object about the size of a golf ball and weighing nearly as much as a can of soup crashed through the roof of a Monmouth County home, and authorities on Wednesday were trying to figure out what it was. Nobody was injured when the oblong object, weighing more than 13 ounces, crashed into the home and embedded itself in a wall Tuesday night. Federal officials sent to the scene said it was not from an aircraft. The rough-feeling object, with a metallic glint, was displayed Wednesday by police.
