A meteorite crashed through the roof of a woman’s home, and authorities believe it may have been a piece of a three-foot meteor that was seen over the Houston area on Saturday afternoon.

Sherrie James lives just outside of Houston and called the Ponderosa Fire Department about the rock that landed in her home, FOX 26 reported.

James said the rock came through the roof into her daughter’s bedroom, ricocheted off the floor, hit the ceiling again and then landed on her bed. No one was in the room at the time and no one was hurt.

Fire Captain Tyler Ellingham and his team responded to the call after James’s grandson checked the attic and found a hole in the roof. 

Initially, Ellingham’s team told James that the rock had likely fallen from a plane, before leaving her home. They returned a short time later and revised their hypothesis, now saying it likely was part of the meteor.

James said she was a little scared during the impact, but added that she’s definitely going to keep the rock, which she described as being very heavy. 

NASA has since confirmed there was a meteor that first became visible 49 miles above Stagecoach, a small town northwest of Houston.

‘It moved southeast at 35,000 mph, breaking apart 29 miles above Bammel, just west of Cypress Station. The fragmentation of the meteor – which weighed about a ton with a diameter of 3 feet – created a pressure wave that caused booms heard by some in the area,’ NASA said in a social media post.

Prior to NASA’s confirmation, people in the Greater Houston area were already aware something was going on, largely because of the incredibly loud boom that was heard. 

‘Heard it in Katy, Texas. It was very loud! Did not get any footage. Sounded like a sonic boom,’ Teresa Wojcik wrote on Facebook.

‘Felt it and heard it, as it shook our house in Hockley, TX. We assumed it was thunder,’ Jasmine Brockett wrote.

‘Porter, Texas. We heard it and the window vibrated slightly,’ Debbie Smith-Stephens said.

The meteor in Houston comes days after an even bigger space object was spotted over Lake Erie near Cleveland, Ohio.

James said the rock tore a hole through the roof, landed in her daughter’s bedroom, ricocheted off the floor and back into the ceiling before landing on her bed

NASA described it as a ‘small asteroid’ measuring six feet in diameter and weighing about seven tons. It rocketed through the sky at 45,000 mph before breaking up over Valley City.

People in multiple states witnessed this meteor, from Pennsylvania to Ohio.

Witnesses in Pittsburgh reported seeing what appeared to be a burning object streaking through the sky.

One local wrote online: ‘911 calls in the city. I have relatives who heard the boom from Hinckley, Ohio, all the way to Sandusky.’
