Meteorite that crashed into Georgia home is believed to have originated from the main asteroid belt, making it 4.56 billion years old

A meteorite that plummeted into the roof and living room of a house in McDonough, Georgia, has now been found to be 20 million years older than Earth. Researchers who examined fragments of the broken meteorite now think that its parent body split from a monster asteroid (which formed before Earth) about 470 million years ago.

A mysterious fireball blazed across the sky in broad daylight on June 26, sparking hundreds of siting reports in Georgia and South Carolina.
