"It's remarkable that some strange guest should sweep through Earth like a hot wire through wax, and that no one would notice as it did so. But though the visitor was very fast and fairly heavy, it was also extremely small: a mass of as much as 10 tons squeezed into something about the size of a red blood cell." (WIRED) This article explains how two scientists studied seismological tapes to find tiny but high-mass particles, called quark nuggets, which pass from space through the Earth.
