Thanks you Darryl, I wouldn't say 'Valera revisited' as this addition
has never appeared in public to my knowledge and shed a lot of
additional light on the subject. Is there any newspaper article of the
time of the fall vintage to your knowledge, or did the consigner ever
write a report of
Hello List,
There is also this 1994 paper by Yau and Yeomans, Meteorite falls in
China and some related human casualty events
(http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1994Metic..29..864Y), which suggests
that the probability of a meteorite striking a human is far greater
than previous estimates. However,

In THE FRIEND 1834 publication VOL 7, a religious and literary journal
states.
In July 1790, another case occurred at Barbotan, a place in the
vicinity of Bordeaux, which is thus described by Lomet, a respectable citizen
who witnessed the phenomenon:— It was a very bright
Wow, I am glad I am not the only one who is getting pissed at the mail service
to Canada. I cannot figure out who to blame, the mail services (both Canada

Denial takes many forms.
A neighbor here in town has a novel attitude toward impact events, or perhaps
he just truthfully expressed an attitude that many may have, but are afraid to
express.
Hello all,
Every time I see that the New Concord meteorite hit and killed a colt (or
horse), I cringe. Maybe Kevin K. does the same when he hears that a dog was
killed (or turned to ashes) by a Nakhla stone.
In 2006 Mark Bostick collected over 15 newspaper accounts about the New Concord
Hi Darryl,
Thanks for the added info.
Can you tell us if the material out there is from the actual
Hammer stone that killed the cow - or is some of it so and the rest
From additional rocks of the fall?
This would be valuable to know.
Thanks, Michael

One of these stones, fifteen inches in diameter, broke
through the roof of a cottage, and killed a herdsman and a bullock. After
reading the above statement, we cannot refrain from wondering at the slow
belief of philosophers as to the heavenly origin of these stones. Where was

Here's an interesting account of what could have been a multiple death

Hi,
That's very funny---and not just!!!
Related to the foregoing, I just heard from the owner of the small 4.195kg
specimen. He confirmed it's extremely fresh, that it has approximately 50%
crust and that he acquired it from Al Lang (who purchased it at the Macovich

A. On average about 1 per square mile per thousand years. About
20,000 to 40,000 per year.
No one challenged this answer so I'm
