'Meteorites' crash into home smashing through roof and walls as family eats breakfast

A family were left in shock after meteorites started crashing through the roof of their home as they were eating breakfast.

The largest rock, the size of a chicken egg, smashed a hole in their corrugated iron roof, while smaller ones smashed through the walls.

As the footage shows, the family were left with damage throughout the house and reporters around their property in Phitsanulok, in Thailand.

The family were sitting down to breakfast at around 7.30am on Tuesday when they heard a loud bang.

The said it sounded like gunfire as the stones started to hit, but once the noise had died down they were surprised to see the stones, which were hot to touch lying scattered on the ground.
