    Wouldn't it be cool if we found out that the meteorite is actually from Earth and was ejected to Mars 65 million years ago?

    It's both weird and pretty awesome that we are excited about foreign objects on a planet millions of miles away from us.

    Could this explain the almost Aurora Boralies thing I saw in the sky two weeks ago when I was out on my nightly walk? It was more white than cool colored stuff, but weird in a way as well.

    Oh, stop staring at the meteor fragment lovingly and touch it! TOUCH IT!

    @NefariousNewt: I would hope so. It's a US-Canadian organization. That does beg the question of why they didn't release data on the trajectory.

    5-30 megaton events have already happened with very little long term effect. i'm not sure why we'd be worried over something in the 3-5 range. sure, if the object managed to defy the odds and actually strike the center of a major population center said city would be gone but other than that not much would happen.
