Actually, Sky, it's not NASA creating this fuss, it's websites following NASA. NASA just released the image, and this item was spotted in it. It's probably already been graded and dismissed by those examining the image.
NASA itself certainly will try to drum up funding though, since they're sniffing around for scraps of what's left over from the budget. Can't say I blame them when Russia and China are sending rockets up on a regular basis and the pads at Cape Canaveral have weeds growing on them...
