A Houston woman, Sherrie James, has reported that a rock from space may have crashed through her home, leaving behind significant damage and an unusual object. Experts believe the rock came through the roof, hit the floor, bounced up, and landed between the TV and the bed. James called the fire department and a constable, who found the object heavy and described it as a meteorite. Scientists and researchers from the Meteoritical Society also visited her home to conduct analysis. Despite this, James plans to sell the rock and has had several offers to buy it.
