Submission + - Mysterious Metal Rock Falls From Sky in New Jersey

An anonymous reader writes: From the AP: FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Authorities were trying to identify a mysterious metallic object that crashed through the roof of a house in eastern New Jersey. Nobody was injured when the golf-ball sized object, weighing nearly as much as a can of soup, struck 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-surfaced object, with a metallic glint, was displayed Wednesday by police. "There's some great interest in what we have here," said Lt. Robert Brightman. "It's rather unusual. I haven't seen anything like it in my career." He said he hoped to have the object identified within 72 hours, but declined to name the other agencies whose help he has enlisted. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070104/ap_on_fe_st/fa llen_object Those aliens really need a 100 light-year bumper to bumper warranty on their interseller SUVs.
