Local authorities are seeking answers after a massive object barreled into the side of a New Jersey home on Friday afternoon.
The object - comprised of fiberglass - blasted through the side wall of a two-story home on the Western Avenue in Jersey City.
Bouncing inside the home for a brief moment, the massive object then blew a second hole in the same wall.
The scene is currently being investigated by local personnel, ABC 7 reports.
It is currently unknown what the object could have been.
But Jersey City spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said that the cylinder was filled with compressed gas and 'came from the direction of a scrap metal yard' on Country Road, NJ.com reports.
Pictures from the scene show plaster from the walls littering the floor with other debris.
The wall appears to have cracks coming from the hole, suggesting that the damage could get more extensive.
No one was reported a being at the home at the time. Arlene Silverstri, owner of the property, told reporters that she received a call notifying her of the explosion.
A neighbor is said to have heard a loud boom coming from the private residence.
Police reported in their statement that a scrapyard is stationed just a quarter of a mile away.
