So if this happened on my property, would the goobermint come in and claim the meteorite?

Considering examples of these go for $1000's, you are damn right I would have a metal detector combing that crater before the first suit showed up. And as far as confiscation, they would have to check the same lake my guns fell into.

Gravitational forces could definitely pull an asteroid apart, especially if it is more of a clump of material(s) or “pieces” held together by it’s own / their own (very weak) gravity, as opposed to the solid chunk of rock most people think of. A small asteroid can even have it’s own smaller “moons”. Of course, that brings up an interesting question: When are separate pieces considered individual bodies?

This is also interesting, because it shows that smaller bodies can get through and cause deadly local destruction. If that thing had thumped a building full of people... :-(

On the other hand, if it was one of Obama’s friends, he sure landed hard!
