No I am no expert but an item that falls from the sky would have some velocity, wouldn't it form a crater rather than bounce off the ground? It would also be very, very hot and leave tracer lines in the sky.

Cheers guys. Webbo maybe this guy just angered a scientist neighbor that works for Nasa? A hidden camera may reveal a man with a white coat and spectacles hurling rocks at his house at night time.

Sadly, the story turned out to be false. It was a lump of concrete
