Margaret Campbell-Brown, an astronomer at Canada's University of
Western Ontario, says that the Russian meteor was "56 feet (17 meters)
across, weighed more than 700,000 tons and was moving about 18
kilometers per second (40,000 mph) when it blew apart, she said."

What her saying implies is that, if the meteor was a cube 17x17x17
meters, which is the largest object of 17 meters in size, then its
density was 142 tons per cubic meter.

For comparison, gold is only 20 tons per cubic meter.

Am I the only person to vies these numbers with suspicions?

You got it figured out quite well.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
