She continued telling the outlet, &#8220;I did touch the thing because I thought it was a random rock, I don&#8217;t know, and it was warm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Emergency personnel checked on the family to make sure there were no residual substances or aftereffects from the object. Everything &#8220;came back clear,&#8221; as per Ms Kop.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The police said that they have also contacted several other organisations for assistance in &#8220;safeguarding the residents and the object.&#8221; Hopewell Township Police Department noted that the object could be connected to an ongoing meteor shower called the Eta Aquariids, an event related to Halley&#8217;s Comet that is visible from mid-April to late May and usually peaks around May 5 every year.<\/p>\n<p>As per the outlet, Derrick Pitts, the Chief Astronomer at the Franklin Institute, believes that the object could be &#8220;four to five billion years old, left over from the beginning of the solar system.&#8221; Mr Pitts told the outlet, &#8220;It&#8217;s been running around in space all that time and now it&#8217;s come to Earth and fell in their laps. For it to actually strike a house, for people to be able to pick up, that&#8217;s really unusual and has happened very few times in history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/world-news\/possible-meteorite-crashes-through-roof-of-us-home-residents-safe-4026085\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The space rock was seen next to a damaged, broken floor.
