Default North Brunswick object may be alien intruder

Maybe Marvin the Martian dropped it off on a jaunt across the galaxy, or maybe it's just another ordinary rock, but a township couple believes the black, gray, gold and green baseball-sized stone that mysteriously appeared in their yard about a week ago may be from outer space.
Joe and Kathleen Marascio hope they are the latest area residents to get a visitor from outside the Earth's gravitational pull after a Freehold Township couple discovered the rock that crashed into the side of their home last week was a meteorite.

The rock Joseph and Kathleen Marascio found is just a rock after all.
After believing the rock might be connected to the meteorite that fell last week in Freehold, the township couple learned yesterday that the gray, black, yellow and green stone they found in their yard is not from outer space.

I never knew meteorites could be that colorful. I usually think of them as greyish objects.

This thread is useless without pictures of the thing.

Welcome to the BAUT Forum.

As I recall, a picture accompanied a news article, maybe the cited one. It wasn't much to look at -- something only a person might find remarkable if an actual meteor crashed into someone's house a few cities away. I looked where I could and didn't see the photo I recall. (Of course, we all know how sneaky false memories can be.)

I don't think it's unusual, for purposes of saving space, for newspapers to archive the text of stories and not save acompanying images. Sometimes you need to see these things when they're fresh, to get the full experience.

But, as the experts have determined that this rock isn't a meteorite, the thread's usefullness has pretty much expired on its own. It had such potential...

Pumice, slag, and a lot of other pitted stones fool people every year.
