(meteorobs) maybe a meteorite hit in New Jersey?

[meteors at eclipse.net]

The object in question has been examined by three Rutgers University
Geologists and a metalurgist, and been confirmed to be an Iron type
meteorite.

It's the first documented fall in NJ since 1829!!

I hope to get a chance to see it in person someday!
