Greetings all,
I hate to be a "nay-sayer" or anything of the likes.  But, that picture 
sure looks like a cheap Photoshop "copy-and-paste" job.  Here's the link 
again for you all that have filters or didn't look before:

I'm sure it's due to the false color imaging to make it look "natural" 
or whatever.  It just seems like the shadows don't match considering the 
ground soil and the meteorite itself.  I'm quite certain I'm wrong in 
any insinuations above, but it doesn't look anything natural to me.  I 
believe they have found an iron meteorite, but that picture doesn't look 
right to me.  Maybe they are trying too hard to convince us???

Just my amateurish 2-cents worth,
Dave
