Anyone else know anything about this "stone"?

When is the press going to verify and confirm before publishing? Do they
ever do that any more?

Whatever happened to the boy who supposedly got hit by the 30,000 MPH
meteorite?

Embarrass the press by reporting on their inefficient and obvious poor
research and worse reporting. Write scathing articles yourself damning
the press for shoddy research and demand retractions and accurate
information be posted. Post it all over the web!

Someone please inform, educate and liberate them from their own ignorance
