    There is good video of the object here:
    
    http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/06/14/rock-found-in-amesbury-backyard-came-from-space-station/
    
    To me, it looks like a piece of obsidian (volcanic glass). I strongly doubt this 
    is Space Debris, and don't see how this could be traced to MIR in the absence of 
    machine part numbers or recognizable original morphology.
    
    So I call for "bogus".
