It's now worth a lot of money.
Central Michigan University checked out the 22-pound rock, and determined it is in fact a meteorite.
It's the sixth largest found in Michigan, and is worth an estimated $100,000.
The man says he inherited the rock when he bought a farm in 1988.
Several museums are now looking to purchase the meteorite for display.
