Didn't notice the video link before. Seeing it from different angles and in motion, yeah, it looks
like nothing more than a piece of nothing. (Side note, when I was in middle school, I found
something on the playground that I was convinced was a meteorite. I mailed it off the the
Sithsonian. They sent back the "meteorite" at their own expense with a note exlaining that it was
slag. I wish I could find that letter somewhere, I don't remember if I kept it or not).
