Dear List Members,
You are going to think we are insane announcing
this but we feel it is important. We acquired a computer game still in the
box that was struck by a meteorite inside a house on Dunham street in the Park
Forest neighborhood. This is from the same site that Mike Farmer purchased
the House Hammering stone. This game box acted as a receptacle trapping
some fragments from the meteorite, wood from the attic and sheet rock from the
ceiling. While examining the contents of the game box under a microscope
we were shocked to see the following objects:
Dumbbell shaped glassy forms
Teardrop shaped glassy forms
Rod shaped glassy forms
Patty shaped glassy forms with sunken
centers
Ball shaped glassy forms
Dumbbell
Dumbbell and Teardrop
Mixture of several types
These are all the same shapes you will find in
Tektites, yet these cannot be called impactites since the meteorite
did not melt any objects when it crashed through the roof. This is no joke
so you collectors in the field may want to revisit the houses that
were struck by meteorites and collect the debris left behind before it is too
late. We do not know the scientific importance of this discovery but will
find out soon since the University of Washington is interested in pursuing these
strange objects. It has been suggested that these objects may
have come from the ablation train left behind by this fall. It is our
hope that more of this material is collected before it is too late.
All the Best
Adam Hupe
