Doctors told an Associated Press Television News cameraman at the site that they had found no sign of radioactive contamination among families living nearby.

Are all meteorite strikes usually tested for radioactivity?
Have these scientists been watching too many monster movies?
Were real scientists involved in the investigation?
Do they suspect it might be a deorbited artificial satellite?
