Why spooky? It's not like meteorites are rare.

If I see a rock fall from the sky in my backyard and no one comes to ask to study it, you can bet I will keep it for myself.

Meteorites this large are rare, and extremely helpful to the scientific community, considering that going straight to the source is the only other way to retrieve samples. It's spooky because it could mean a huge discovery that's not being realized.
