I find it hard to believe that a three pound meteorite could set a car on fire
as most meteorites that size are ice cold from space. Perhaps some wiring was
damaged in the car and caused the fire. The university doesn't sound like it
knows what it is doing because that is not the standard thing to test for on a
freshly fallen meteorite. Sounds like a combination of a hoax and bad reporting.
