The Puzzling Afternoon: Last Friday, while working in their upstairs office, an Arizona resident heard and felt a powerful force that seemed like a truck approaching their house. Even their usually unflappable dog sensed the disturbance. The commotion lasted about 15 seconds before abruptly ending. The resident described the sensation as if their house were moving forward, akin to a mudslide.
Assumptions and Observations: Initially, the resident assumed it might be nearby blasting. They also believed their neighbors had heard it, but they hadn't. However, one observant neighbor noticed that the resident's roof tiles were in disarray that afternoon. It appeared as if something had struck the roof, possibly debris from an aircraft or even a meteorite. Two separate areas of the roof had displaced tiles.
