Big rock creates big mystery

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa There's a 15-thousand pound mystery in a Cedar Rapids
farm field.

Bob Taylor works for Bladerston Farms of Central City. He says he found
the rock this spring while doing field work.

Taylor says it may be a meteorite. But the rock is clean, not burned and
is sitting on the field, not in a crater.

Taylor says another possibility is that it rolled off a truck that was
hauling it to a nearby housing development.

For now, the plan is to farm around it until someone the owner comes to
claim it.
