Meteorite Crashes Through Connecticut Home’s Roof

Luke 21:25,26 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

A homeowner who thought that a rafter in his roof had broken was shocked to discover a meteorite had smashed into his home.

“It sounded like a gunshot but it was a louder bang,” Larry Beck told local TV reporters. “We looked up and saw the ceiling coming down and it broke away the sheet rock in the dining room.”

Beck said when he heard the loud bang and assumed a rafter or joint in the roof was broken. When he woke Saturday, an investigation found a hole in the roof. Beck alerted local authorities when he found the softball sized rock in his dining room.

The collections manager for the Mineralogy Division at Yale Peabody Museum confirmed the rock came from outer space.

Local authorities reported multiple calls to 911 because of the loud boom that came from the meteorite striking the Beck home.
