Kansas? Is that near Smallville?

Let's all give our welcome to Kal-El.

Well, hopefully Kal-El. Zod would be problematic.

Did the landowner get the rights to the meteorite, or did the government claim it?

Sounds like somebody spent a lot of money to find a piece of space rock. Now they can all sit around and make guesses as to where it came from and how long it was in space and whether or not it proves the big bang theory.

"Native Americans could have seen it."

Then it would have undoubtedly been of great interest to their scientists.

Meteorites were not accepted by the science establishment as coming from space until the late 1800s, although the ancient Egyptian heiroglyph for iron is clearly the word for 'from the sky.' The Greek for iron is sideros, which also means 'from the sky,' and at first the main source for iron was meteoritic.
