They claim: "We have no fuel on board, plus or minus 8 kilograms," said one NEAR scientist. By my arithmetic, if its -8 kg, then this is the first known discovery of negative mass in the Universe. If I recall correctly, negative mass allows faster than light travel. If that is accurate, we ought to be able to be able to bring NEAR back to Earth a lot faster than it took to get to the asteroid. Also, of note: "Some suggest unknown forces breaking up boulders, moving debris into flat crater pools and creating unidentifiable depressions the size of hand and footprints." Is Eros haunted?
