The Moscow Times
Moscow (Russia):
The Federal Security Service said Thursday that the large rock purportedly captured from British intelligence contained high-tech intelligence equipment worth millions of dollars."Judging by the way it was put together, it is space technology," Sergei Ignatchenko, chief spokesman for the Federal Security Service, or FSB, said on Rossia television.

The stone in question was not the one seen in FSB footage broadcast Sunday on Rossia, which accused four British diplomats of being spies and using a similar rock to receive information. That stone was taken away by a British diplomat, but the FSB left no stone unturned in their search for a similar stone, Ignatchenko said.
A second rock was found after FSB agents scoured Moscow for a month, he said. Rossia showed FSB agents picking up the hollow rock out of the snow.
The stone was designed to work for long periods under water and could withstand a fall from nine stories.
