At 2:30am on 9 April 2025, residents of Magnolia, New Jersey, reported a loud explosion followed by a bright flash of light. The source appeared to be an object that tore through the roof of a local auto body shop, leaving a large hole and debris scattered inside.
When investigators examined the site, however, no object was found. The absence of physical evidence has fuelled speculation about what struck the building, from meteorite fragments to theories of unidentified aerial phenomena.
