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).
