Dear Friends;
After the large episode of Earth Disasters last evening, I would also
expect to see a Tunguska Iron Meteorite coming along shortly, stay tuned!
Media is a good and bad thing. Full of many unscientific half truths
though.

Hi, All,
Amazing resemblance to the Bloomington
Object, don't you think? Same unlikely
proportion of the three dimensions. Same
sharp "regmaglypts." And just enough time
to have worked up a reasonable facsimile.
The drill is the same. Measure its density.
Get it cut, etch a face. Get a bulk composition
analysis. Step by step...
Three irons in a row: the New Jersey Object,
Bloomington (Illinois) Object, Illinois (Illinois)
Object. Odd when you consider how rare
the fall of an Iron is.
I can't get the photos to show in their full
original size, so can't say much about crust.

<< Dear Ken, Michael and List,
I concur with Ken. The "meteorite" appears to have
been manufactured with a acetylene torch or forge and
a sledge hammer or press. The "mass" has an unusual
cross-section for a real iron meteorite and the
thumb printing looks like hammer or press marks. Good
job Ken in pointing out this suspect"meteorite". Best

What Dirk and Ken said....
Perhaps bogus was too strong but definitely a hoax.
The "pseudo-regmaglypts" are rimmed, indicating these
are not ablation features but ducted( as in ductile)
and sheer features.
