New Jersey authorities are trying to work out exactly what the unexpectedly heavy, golf-ball-sized lump of weird metallic stuff that smashed through the roof of a house on Tuesday was.
The unexpectedly heavy, golf-ball-sized lump of weird metallic stuff plummeted from goodness knows where into a house in Freehold Township, NJ, around 50 miles south of New York. It punched through several layers of material, bounced off the floor, before finally embedding itself firmly in the bathroom wall, where it was discovered by the son of the homeowner.
The thing has a metallic appearance, a rough surface, and at 13 ounces is noticeably heavier than would be expected for a metal object of its size. It does not emit significant amounts of radiation, and thus far has made no attempt to either contact, enslave, or destroy the human race.
The Federal Aviation Authority have ruled out the possibility that it's something that fell off an aircraft.
Lt. Robert Brightman of the local police said: 'There's some great interest in what we have here. It's rather unusual. I haven't seen anything like it in my career.'
Carlton Pryor, a professor of astronomy at Rutgers University, told the Reuters news agency: 'It's not all that uncommon to have rocks rain down from heaven. These are usually rocky or a mixture of rock and metal.'

The space debris at the end of the video looked wicked. Imagine a rock like that crashing through your roof? That'd be totally freaky!

lol that's Jeannie Moss. She's quite the nutter actually but I know what you mean.
She did a story on the hanging of Saddam and it very much annoyed me because she was putting a sickening slant of humour on it and I didn't appreciate it, but I generally like her reporting because she takes the piss out of a lot of politicians.

You're right... she generally does some pretty good stuff... and a lot of interesting, funny reports. But I have to agree with Face, her voice is rather annoying. I don't think it's that she's not interested in the story, it's just that's how she sounds all the time.
