(Celebrity News, Xomba.com) -- Top fictional crime Boss, Tony Soprano, on Wednesday, January 3, 2007, quickly sent two of his 'helpers' to a two story house in Freehold Township minutes after the police had arrived. The 'helpers', Rocco Grazzi and Nick Toricelli went to check
out the radio report of a metallic "rock" that went through a house roof. Tony's men, monitoring police freqencies, heard about this and thought it might be something else -- something that got away.

Reuters would report perhaps it was a meteorite punched a hole through the roof of a two story New Jersey home. Tony's 'helpers' reported back to Soprano that the rock was oblong and weighed 13 ounces and appeared to be like those seen in the Museums. The Soprano's helpers, keeping a low profile in the neighborhood, stated that according to police it was not likely anything the families exchange. Nicky and Rocco were more into jacketed lead and not into nickel-iron mixtures like Rocco reported this to be to Soprano. Thirteen ounces is larger than any thing being thrown around by the Boys, Tony knows, so everything is cool.

Rocco told Tony, "It went through two layers of shingles, then the plywood, then the insulation, blasted through the gypsum board in the ceiling, smashed into and damaged the tile floor, and then it bounced up and lodged into the gypsum board in the side wall.

Tony went on to say he'd been surfing on his daughter's computer and seen asteroid stories. Like stories about the recent evidence of asteroids falling on Mars, and how they could ruin your day. Tony said was sure glad the boys were not involved with situations where rocks falling out of the sky could just take you out. That's why he wanted to make sure all them folks at that Freehold Township house were okay. Like Tony says though, and he is religious, "If God wants to drop a rock on your head its over. So you gotta live a good life."

Tony says he watches NASA releases and has a hobbyist's interest in astronomy. Tony says he occasionally takes the yacht out and sees a few shooting stars north beyond the cities night-time skyglow. Tony says he supports the Dark Sky initiatives.

Freefold Township Police Investigator, Brightman, reported, "The woman living there heard an unusual sound, the woman's son then discovered the rock in the wall of bathroom and contacted police."

The Federal Aviation Authority concluded that the object was not an airplane part. He said other experts were due to look at the object on Thursday but declined to name what agencies they represented. NASA made no public comment.

"After I thought about this," Tony says, "My heart went out to those people in the house. If they got insurance, this is probably one of those 'Acts of God' exclusions. You know where, they don't pay for damages. So I am thinking about offering them, the mother and the boy, $ 25,000 for the rock. I'll get Mario Ponzoli, he owes me, to fix their damage. You know, I'd like to get a nickel iron meteorite for my den's desk."


Update: Rutgers University geologists Jeremy Delaney, Gail Ashley and Claire Condie and Peter Elliott, a metallurgist, pronounced the rock to be an Iron meteorite, nickel content not determined yet.
