Meteorite? Mud? Mysterious rock crash lands in B.C. man’s pool

'I would really be curious to know, at least we have closure where it came from, I mean,' said Justin Broad of a possible meteor that landed in his Delta, B.C., pool on Monday.

Delta, B.C., resident Justin Broad was enjoying some early morning fresh air Monday when he saw something splash into his pool.

“I was kind of stunned and just kind of studying it for a little while,” Broad told Global News.

He said the object had already started to disintegrate in the water.

“It didn’t cloud up and dissipate. It just dropped to the shallow end right at the bottom in a ball,” Broad added.

He said it was like seeing a black lightning bolt hit his pool, followed by a huge splash.

“I assumed it was a meteor, (a) little meteor sample,” Broad said.

He decided to wake up his wife and tell her what happened and they decided to drain the pool to get to the material.

“We called our pool guy who got the pump out here, started pumping it out, and around two in the afternoon yesterday, we videotaped the whole procedure and then we got down to about six inches of water,” Broad said. “And I stopped at that point because it’s so windy, I was worried that it was going to push this stuff all over the place.”
