I have a question. If this is simply something that fell off of an airplane then why is it so unrecognizable? I would think parts that fall off planes would be easy to recognize. Plus the size of this piece pictured is about the size of a nickel. A nickel weighs more like 5 grams not .07 grams. It seems to me this must be from space? No? And if it is from space , why isn't it smooth? Carl Esparza IMCa 5829
