A scientist says fragments of a meteorite that punched through a Georgia homeowner's roof after blazing across the sky in a fiery streak is older than the Earth itself

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.

"This particular meteor that entered the atmosphere has a long history before it made it to the ground of McDonough".
