Dear Bjorn and List,
I agree with Bjorn, watching the pictures on the article there is no doubt that
this is a stony meteorite and I would even risk a speculation that with the
fair grey chips it looks like another LL6... OK, I know, one should wait until
it is analysed of course! ;o))
Good
One reason would be that Turkey might in fact be the
most dangerous country in the world to remove a
meteorite from. Turkey has extreme laws about removal
of ANYTHING! People I know say that at the airports
there are warnings about removing even a pebble or sea
shell. Jail sentances are handed
This is correct. You better not carry a nice sea shell, let alone
some good replica of something looking antique (...let alone a
meteorite!!!) in your baggage when leaving Turkey. They are
tough-minded on this, and your are risking draconic fines.
I met with a collector friend in Turkey last
I was wondering if the movie Midnight Express was still accurate...

Pete

Hello list members. Received two frantic calls from hunters who say there was a huge meteor over Illinois, Indiana and reports from Missouri. It was talked about by Paul Harvey this morning
and it sounds like something large came in. Does anyone have more details?
Thanks, E.T.

As I e-mailed David privately, I believe Michael prefers that attendees

A few general observations about witness reports, based on looking at a

often be reported as 45° or higher.
