When Suzy Kop entered her father's bedroom on May 8, 2023, she was stunned to find a grapefruit-sized rock next to a big dent on the wooden floor. Upon further investigation, the New Jersey resident saw two holes in the ceiling. It appeared that the stone had struck the floor with such great force that it rebounded and punched a second hole before landing back.

Unfortunately, lacking a New Jersey meteorite finder permit the precious rock was confiscated by the state and will be used by the governor as a door stop at his beach house.

Scientists are still trying to determine the space rock's origin. It was initially thought that the meteorite came from the Eta Aquarid meteor shower, which peaks in early May. The annual celestial show is the result of Earth passing through the debris shed by Halley's Comet as it whizzes past our planet every 76 years. Halley's Comet must have the same bladder as me! At least I don't whizz on someone's floor.

Is it wrong I was hoping it crashed into Christie's home and was rooting for the meteorite?

They just pulled that date out of their butts or did it have a manufacture’s date on it?

They charge them 150% tax.
But then they will conceded to gracefully get it from the family free of charge.

The gravitational field surrounding Chris Christie pulled in another one. He’s really got to lay off the donuts.

Well... At least it will be useful. Imagine finding it and then just shipping it to the 'warehouse'.

A much softer landing than the hardwood floor.
And probably not so much bounce?

That usually occurs in the fall around Halloween.
