If something that looked as weird as this: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GIvJrciWwAAKWXY?format=jpg&name=...

Came flying through my roof and two floors of my house, I would immediately think it came from space.

It looks like a huge bullet.

Yeah I’d think a misfired c-130 20 mil cannon round before I thought random space stuff hit my house.

I'm surprised, it looks nothing like a cannon round, also, as far as I'm aware the military has no kinetic bombardment it uses, I know a couple of years back they talked about the rods of gods system, but outside that I don't believe there are any rounds in the military that are just massive chunks of metal?

Why, do you live in a hospital?

> 42 people were killed and over 30 were injured

> United States would be making condolence payments of $6,000 to the families of those killed in the airstrike

Wow. How generous.

From this angle. But it's half melted. I don't think bullets of this size half melt.
