I would like to make a profound announcement (out of character for me?).
Why don't all list members from Illinois NOT let us know when they have
an object that is not scientifically classified until the rock comes
back as a REAL METEORITE.....If I brought it to the list each time
someone brought me a meteorwrong, you would be bombarded weekly with a
meteorwrong announcement. I am quite sure that on a week to week basis,
we would collectively receive around fifty or more meteorwrong suspected
meteorite announcements if we all reported every rock that some joker
brought to a list member hoping it was a meteorite.
Please do not post to the list each time someone brings you a
meteorwrong that hasn't been tested.
It wastes all of our time.

The statement that said this will be the 3rd Iron from
Illinois sure came across as a meteorite announcement
that just foregone formality of investigation. The
Vision Rock was also not a scam or hoax in the owner's
mind.
I guess we old timers are so cynical we'd demand a
bacteria count on the milk of human kindness.

Michael,
Please forward this message ... And thanks for
helping me til I have no
problems posting myself.
Dear List,
Nobody said that this is definitely a meteorite. The
man who found the piece
simply found it in his backyard while he was moving
soil. He brought it to a
rock shop because he thought it may be a meteorite.
He is NOT claiming that it fell through his roof,
crashed through a window
or anything like that.
The only reason that I told him it could be a
meteorite and that it was
worth testing is that it appears to have crust.
So, please relax. This no scam, no hoax, nothing of
the sort.
