Maybe someone else mentioned this, but on the interview with the
dentist, Dr. Ciampi, that NPR aired this weekend, he clearly said
that the meteorite "wasn't warm either when he [his partner] touched it."

Also, the reporter, Audie Cornish, consistently referred to the thing
as a "meteor" despite that Dr. Ciampi called it a meteorite.
