I am not convinced, lets see a test for nickel and one for irridium.
Then let's get a meteorite lab to look it over. I have geology
background thus, I cancel out one geologist's vote it is a meteorite......
It may be space junk but I go back to the young man living at the house
and having too much time on his hands.

Hi all:
I'm sticking to my original vote.
It is indeed a meteorite.
If anyone has seen it - it would be really interesting to get their feedback on its appearance
More tests would be good; perhaps the owners are hesitant; people get funny when the come across items that could be of great value.

Hi,
I'll gladly grant that I do not a huge amount
of hands-on experience with irons and have only
looked at 40 or 50, but I have to say that the
surface of this object has the oddest geometry.
I've been staring at the reasonably good photo
in the article (URL below). It does not resemble
any aerodynamic sculpture I've ever seen.
I call on the more expert (and there are lots
of you!), does this look meteoritic in its surface
features to you?
Because I don't want to be a Lazy Listoid
that just dumps stuff on others, I went to Google
Images for "iron meteorite" and cruised through
the first 600 pictures or so, looking for its like.
Didn't see it. Lots of nice irons, but nothing
with surface features like this.
From what I can gather, Delaney gave it the
nickel test (it passed) but was not allowed to
cut or window or etch. It seems to have been
informally accepted into the Meteorite Club,
by the press anyway.
If it's real, how did it get these surface features?
Anyone have any iron similar in its sculpture?
