This is one of several surviving pieces of the asteroid that hit the ground. The original asteroid was nearly 100 feet across and was composed of mostly iron and nickel. The asteroid disintegrated on impact leaving no sizeable chunks.. only small pieces littered around the desert near Diablo Canyon.

The thing you saw in the first picture, is only one of the parts that they (I don't know who) found in the crash site.

Found it!
