alien meteorite' in 2014 as it travelled from another solar system, US Space Command and Harvard scientists have confirmed.It was originally believed our planet was first hit by an extrasolar space rock in 2017 - however, the latest data of the 2014 rock that have been plucked from the Pacific ocean has pushed that date back by three years. Scientists believe that the rock, which exploded into a fireball on landing could suggest that these types of rocks are common visitors to our Solar system.On April 6, Space Command issued a memo confirming the work of Harvard astronomers Amir Siraj and Abraham Loeb, noting that the velocity and trajectory of the meteor suggested that the rock had travelled to Earth from another star system.

comet that wiped out the dinosaurs travelled 186 billion miles before being "pinballed" by Jupiter, research has found.Harvard scientists reckon the 10-mile wide space rock started off as debris from the Oort Cloud at the edge of the Solar System.Their new theory says it was pulled out of its orbit by Jupiter before the Sun ripped it apart and sent bits smashing into the Earth.Harvard's top astronomer Professor Avi Loeb and astrophysicist Amir Siraj said their predictions matches with the dates of other massive craters on Earths.Mr Siraj said: "Basically, Jupiter acts as a kind of pinball machine."Jupiter kicks these incoming long-period comets into orbits that bring them very close to the Sun."Mystery surrounds the origin of the
