NEW YORK — A New Jersey family made an out-of-this-world discovery this week.
After a mysterious black rock was found in a Trenton-area home that had apparently damaged the ceiling and floor, the homeowner and his children went searching for answers.
She also noticed there were two holes in the ceiling -- one where the 4-by-6-inch rock entered the home and another after it likely ricocheted across the room before coming to a rest on the floor, which was also slightly damaged. "I got a message from a colleague saying the Hopewell PD was going to call me. And I was like, 'Why?'" Shannon Graham, a geophysicist at The College of New Jersey in nearby Ewing Township, told WPVI with a laugh.
