stones falling from the sky?

Few days ago I was in my garden picking weeds and I heard a small pebble falling near me. It fell on the sand and disappeared between the other stones. This was during the day, I only heard it, but did not see. I thought maybe a bird did it, but there weren't any birds around at that moment.

2 days later it happened again. This time at night. I went out to look at the sky and stars, and again a small pebble fell near me. This time i heard it hit the patio and bounce a couple of times. It was dark so I could not find it. Next day I searched the patio, there were only a few stones, so one of them had to be it. I let the pebbles fall till I found the one that made the same sound as the night before.

It is small, about 1 inch long, so I made some pictures with my dslr and macrolens to get a closer look. Not sure if it is a meteorite, but it does look a little scorched. Maybe it is a fragment of a larger rock that exploded in the atmosphere. Though with a tiny magnet it does not appear magnetic, but maybe the magnet is too weak to test that.

Anyhow, very weird 2 stones falling from the sky in 1 week, and both near me.
