any guesses as to what it is? My thought is a tiny piece of metal from another mission, a destroyed satellite or something along those lines, but something from earth.

Economic warfare! The terrorists planted it there so we will spend billions analyzing it and looking for more pieces.

Is it just me, or is that guy stoned out of his mind? And he expects people to take him seriously as an "expert" when he looks like that on TV?

I actually think that guy is an Alien... then again, he is Greek (I know Americans of Greek descent but no actual Greeks). [Coffee]

In the article they mentioned that the object was found after the rover use his drill for the first time.

Then, I know what it is, NASA bought the drill bit at Harbor Freight and its what's left of it!
