Maybe trade it in for a super bowl ring?
Phil Green wasn't quite sure what he had, when he noticed the unusual rock on the banks of the Merrimack River…
He suspected it might have come from outer space. But he had no idea just how unusual it actually was.

What Phil had found was a piece of the Russian Space Station Mir
