A two-pound space rock that smashed through the ceiling of a Hillsborough homeowner's bedroom in the summer of 2024 has been found to contain salty fluids and alien 'chemistry'. Following a detailed analysis, scientists now believe the unassuming meteorite could hold the secrets to how biological life began on Earth.
For context, the blazing object first made its presence known on July 16, 2024. Tearing through the atmosphere at a blistering 32,000 miles per hour, it triggered a massive sonic boom that violently rattled New York City. Dozens of stargazers tracked the bright streak across five different states before it fragmented over Staten Island and New Jersey.
