Remember that meteor that crashed in Russia breaking all those windows?

[Kramodlog]

Well they found it.

They weighed it using a giant steelyard balance, which displayed 570 kilograms (1,256 pounds) before breaking.

I'm disappointed. I expect more glowiness and maybe mutant powers when you're in contact with it.

I know, right?
I mean, it landed in Russia.

 

[PigKnight]

Was everything around it gray and dead?

Watch out for black oil.

Too bad they can't fund the Tunguska comet/meteorite/black hole/UFO.

Why would it be glowing? It's not particularly radioactive, and it's been at the bottom of a lake for most of the year. It's a chondrite meteorite, not kryptonite.

You obviously haven't seen enough movies and comics books. For shame.

If it was glowing and gave people super powers or had black oil they would still be reporting it as mundane.

Maybe it can be forged into a magic sword.

If that were a regular Earth-rock/ore would it be surprising for it to weigh that much, given how big it appears?
