I don’t mind. It lets people blow off steam.

Man, I don’t know why you even bother posting science related articles here. Freepers just turn them into joke fests. Oh, I don't know... There are a dozen or so of us here who enjoy these articles!
That said, this looks curiously like a partially melted fragment of a hull.... (Is it time to watch a battle from Babylon 5 tonight?)

I’ll bet all they need is a magnet to confirm meteorite.

If it knocks a devastating (I hope) Huber report off the news cycle, they’ll jump at it.

There are a dozen or so of us here who enjoy these articles! I enjoy them quite a bit myself, hence my melancholy comment about threads following such articles normally descending into joke fests.
I agree with your take on the photo. At first glance it does look like melted metal.

I just looked it up. The object’s shape is similar to that of the island of Colonsay. I’m guessing whoever named it also has a heritage from that island.

Thanks fieldmarshaldj. Looks like one of those foil burger wrappings the big fast food chains use.

Notice the round column handle like protrusion in the upper left? Could be another separate object.
But like earlier Martian finds, NASA will 'examine' the object until there is little of it remaining or none at all. And then pronounce it was just a rock polished by wind and dust ... nothing to see (literally now) move along.

Curiosity messaged NASA when it saw this: "Me like bling!"

Blow off steam? But why is it always science threads? And why would science threads cause them anxiety to the point where they need to blow off steam?
I’d guess there has to be some kind of motive which causes grown adults to be reduced to 8 year-olds making the same agonizing potty jokes and dumb quips over and over. Very odd.
