Nobody who was in the home at the time was harmed, but it is leaving residents pretty puzzled. Nothing has been 100% confirmed or denied, but by the looks of the object that fell from the sky, it's safe to say it was a meteorite.

Like I always say, it's never a dull moment here in New Jersey. Thankfully nobody was hurt and hopefully this will just be an amazing story for this family to tell for years to come.
