"It's not all that uncommon to have rocks rain down from heaven," said Pryor, who had not seen the object that struck the Monmouth County home. "These are usually rocky or a mixture of rock and metal."
Pryor said laboratory tests would have to be conducted to determine if the object was a meteorite.
Police received a call Wednesday morning that the metal object had punched a hole in the roof of the single-family, two-story home, damaged tiles on a bathroom floor, and then bounced, sticking into a wall.
The object was heavier than a usual metal object of its size, said Brightman, who added that no radioactivity was detected.
