In 1957 I witnessed a fireball come down from the very start(I was looking in
the right place) to it's finish. In fact it came so close I thaught it might
hit me, but it slightly arked up and flew over head at about 50 feet between me
and a telephone poll, droping multi colored teardrops behind it. It skimed the
tree tops two blocks away and landed. It was the most AWSUM thing I have ever
seen, at that time. Well some years later I searched the area and found what
looked like a cinder rock. It was all burned and even had a yellow-green crust
in spots. It was not magnetic but was quite heavy. So I kepted it all of
these years thinking it was not a meteorite.
Well today I cut it open to find bright metal, looks like nickel, and a
few white clats (moon type?)
So maybe it could me a meteorite. I also thought impactasite, but from
whare? It has mostly a gray color and sections are of a olive drab green color
and look quite glassy. And in the holes there seems to been a green glassy
shine. If anyone has any idea as to what it sounds like please let me know
your thoughts. If anyone is interested enough I would be happy to send you a
few pictures. Thanks Jim
