Yeah I doubt the object is a meteorite either. But it does pose the question. What the heck is it?!

My guess is space debris from a satellite or possible some industrial accident, or possibly even from passing a plane. The object in the photos does appear to have been heated some way though. I'm leaning toward space debris.

It obviously crashed through the windshield and the dashboard. I don't know about the heat thing reported in the article though. That seems a bit off if you ask me.

It is extremely doubtful the object that hit the car is a meteorite.

The photos of the supposed "meteorite" look like debris of some sort. Not like any meteorite I've ever seen.

Could it be a piece of Satellite, and who was the collector offering $10K for the "meteorite"?

Hmm....
