Metero Or Human Space Trash Returns To Earth?

https://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2007/09...eru-meteor.html

When I seen this I had to pause for a moment and ask why test for radiation? Why was the water boiling for ten minutes or so and why so many strong odors?

After doing some browsing I have noted every one is scared of radiation from meteors but yet none seem to emit any. This is the only case where the humans were tested not just the rock.

The claim that the rocks are cold on impact might be in debate and linked to size. I think all the racks are red hot but many explode due to the stress in the rock, thus small fragment hit the ground. What would the story be though if it were bigger? I would think heat would be held and very possible a boiling of the water would occur. 10 minutes might have been exaggerated though and I would tend to believe a few minutes could occur.

The sulfur odors may have eben from the water its self was it a sulfur spring?

The one question that eats at me the most on this is why are the authorities so positive it is not a meteorite? It is so unlike most stories where every one thinks it is not a meteor and the authorities show up and reassure every one it is? Almost like a backwards cover up. Perhaps it is a big rock and the powers that be want it for them selves for testing and are afraid of what the asking price would be if they admit it is a meteorite. I understand 1 or 5 thousand is not uncommon to be paid for a small meteor that is only inches long.

Any thoughts on this out there?

Earth Returns Trash Space Human Metero

More than 200 residents were ill from the fumes. Seems like an awful lot of people sharing things about this to have the authorities just dismiss it as a volcanic eruption.
