Scientists confirmed a meteorite that was seen streaking across the sky in June and smashed through the roof of a home in McDonough is 20 million years older than Earth.

A meteorite "crash landed" in Georgia on June 26. Particles that tore through the roof of a home in Henry County, Georgia, 31 miles southeast of Atlanta, were donated to a planetary geologist at the University of Georgia (UGA) to figure out where it came from and its classification, according to an Aug. 8 press release published by the university.
