NASA Sting Yields Alleged Moon Rock

NASA does sting operations, too? Investigators from the space agency and local police confiscated a purported moon rock from a woman trying to sell it for a cool $1.7 million, reports the Los Angeles Times. NASA has not finished tests to determine whether it's legit. After a months-long operation, investigators met with the woman in a restaurant to make the exchange. They took her into custody and grabbed the rock instead. Because moon rocks are considered "national treasures," it's illegal to sell them. (More moon rock stories.)
