A 337-gram piece of meteorite fell on a house in New Jersey residential area, 80km south of New York in the past week. The meteorite had a long, hard form like metal, pierced the roof, stabbed into the wall and stayed in that hole.
A group of geologists and a metal expert came to observe the meteorite piece and concluded that this was a piece of meteorite rich in iron, probably broken from an asteroid. .
While waiting for an international committee to name it, this falling sky visitor was taken by the residents of the makeshift community to name the meteor: Freehold Township.
