Simple, Watson… if you have access to the largest intelligence community on

of the impact were analyzed, the meteorite was gigantic, and:
“Analyzing those fragments, they found unusually high concentrations of nickel,
cobalt, chromium, and gold...”
The value ? … think Sudbury basin with gold plating ...
