I have a $4 \times N$ matrix in a .txt file of the form:

-17.071 137.567 16.554 0.65

-16.873 136.138 16.934 0.7

-15.397 135.738 16.894 0.7

-14.7 135.982 15.9 0.6

... ($N-4$ additional row entries)

Where the numeric values in each row are separated by a space. How would I read this matrix in, and parse it in the following manner:

{{-17.071,137.567,16.554,0.65}, {-16.873,136.138,16.934,0.7},{-15.397,135.738,16.894,0.7},{-14.7,135.982,15.9,0.6},...}?

Trying:

Import[PATH\\MATRIX.txt]] 

Only returns the printed contents of the file.
