Why this rock is probably not a meteorite:
The finder of these objects says that he saw the one on the left fall
from the sky. "I picked [it] up ...
immediately after it stopped rolling and held it in my hand. It was
warm but not more than 150°F or so."
Meteorites are never this spherical nor this green. Also, a freshly
fallen meteorite would have a glassy fusion crust, which these objects
do not appear to have.

What is it?
I haven't the foggiest idea of what these things are, but I do know
that not everything that falls from the sky is a meteorite.
