Hello everyone,

Usually I don't have a lot to do with astronomy, but there's one event
that I waned to hear your opinion about.

Several years ago I came across a strange "stone", roughly egg-shaped,
about 20x10cm. It was a bit warm and the grass under and around it was
burnt.

The stone was very dark-gray, almost black, similar to gravel in
color. On its surface was a light-gray "sand" which fell off when
touched (like when you remove sand from your skin after sunbathing).

Inside the stone, where it was irregular it was possible to see 2
protruding balls of steel/iron or whatever - one was perfectly round
(and I mean perfectly) and the other one was round only on one side,
the other side was quite irregular.

I left the stone at my friends place for inspection, but I've
forgotten it and I've lost contact with the guy since that time.
Recently I remembered it again and became curious.

Could it have been a meteorite? If so, is it possible to tell
something more about it based on the above description?

Would be interesting to hear what you think.

It is most likely a meteorite, or possibly of some satellite debris.
Could even be worth a few bucks, especially if you've got that date
nailed down to within +/- a given day.
