An object that smashed through the roof of a Hopewell Township home earlier this week was a meteorite from outer space, experts from The College of New Jersey confirmed Thursday.
The 6-inch-by-4-inch object is a rare stony chondrite meteorite, the experts said. They came to the conclusion after a visual examination, density measurements, scanning electron microscope images and input from Jerry Delaney, a retired meteorite expert from Rutgers University and the American Museum of Natural History.
