The new Siberian meteorite has also the added attraction, moreover, that according to the few scientists who are privy with what happened, that in fact's it's the large fragment of a star, which means that the object that fell to earth is possibly even more of a rarity than has heretofore been thought.

uh, ok

They are playing it down because they quietly need to determine its cash value. Large meteorites go for big money and if that thing is a piece of a star - well - who knows what it's worth.

For some reason, they seem to attract the 'big ones'. Maybe they have discovered a new natural resource. Of course, one day they may attract one that's a little TOO big.
