Mystery object crashes into house
A mysterious small metal object crashed through the roof of a house and slammed into the floor in northern New Zealand.
A police officer initially speculated that it fell from a small plane passing over the town of Whakatu on the country's North Island, but aviation officials later said it may have been shot from spinning farm machinery. No one was injured.
"It looks like it's probably a brake lining or brake shoe from a small plane," Senior Sergeant Ross Smith said after checking the house.
Aviation authorities later tracked down a pilot whose aircraft they thought might be responsible and found nothing missing from the plane when checked at a nearby airport, Civil Aviation Authority spokesman Bill Sommer said.
A "very experienced" aeronautical engineer studied the object and decided it was not part of an airplane, Sommer added. He also said it didn't seem like space junk.
The object was about 11 centimetres (four inches) long, 4.5 centimetres (1.8 inches) wide, weighed about one kilogram (2.2 pounds) and carried no standard airplane part number, he said. It looked like cast iron and had a shiny, curved surface on top, he said.
"We don't know what it's from," Sommer said. "So it's a bit mysterious."
"Far be it for us to speculate ... but it may have come off some agricultural equipment that was spinning at pretty high speed and a piece shot off it," Sommer said.
The small Whakatu settlement is surrounded by farmland.
Constable Ben Howat said police were investigating the object and where it came from.

Maybe the smurfs shot it out that whole that leads to the center of the earth, set it into orbit for a couple of passes, then brought it down onto that house
