A meteorite that recently crashed through the roof of a U.S. home has been found to be older than Earth itself, according to scientists.<\/p>\n

NASA confirmed the object blazed across the Georgia sky in broad daylight on June 26 before exploding.<\/p>\n

A fragment from the meteorite struck a house in McDonough, where researchers from the University of Georgia later conducted an analysis.<\/p>\n

\n

According<\/a> to CBS, their examination revealed the meteorite likely formed around 4.56 billion years ago \u2014 approximately 20 million years before Earth came into existence.<\/p>\n

The dramatic event was witnessed by hundreds across Georgia and neighboring states, many of whom reported a bright fireball and a loud sonic boom.<\/p>\n

Though the meteorite slowed and shrank during its descent, it was still moving at over 1 km per second when it smashed through the Henry County home\u2019s roof.<\/p>\n

Scientists received multiple fragments from the impact site for study.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis particular meteor that entered the atmosphere has a long history before it made it to the ground of McDonough,\u201d said Scott Harris, a University of Georgia geologist.<\/p>\n

Using optical and electron microscopy, Harris\u2019s team determined the object to be a chondrite \u2014 the most common type of stony meteorite, which NASA notes typically dates back 4.56 billion years.<\/p>\n

The homeowner says small traces of space dust are still turning up around the property. The McDonough meteorite is now the 27th to be documented in Georgia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is something that used to be expected once every few decades and not multiple times within 20 years,\u201d Harris explained<\/p>\n

\u201cModern technology, in addition to an attentive public, is going to help us recover more and more meteorites.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris plans to publish detailed findings on the meteorite\u2019s composition and velocity, research he says will improve understanding of potential asteroid threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne day there will be an opportunity, and we never know when it\u2019s going to be, for something large to hit and create a catastrophic situation. If we can guard against that, we want to,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
