Paul and List, does this help?? Looking at the lowermost figure in the Chinese article, I have to wonder, being unable to read Chinese, if the author of the Chinese article is confusing them with the man made stone balls in Costa Rica. (A translation of this article would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Mike, Thanks a lot. As a New Englander[Plymouth, MA] I can appreciate the significance of this particular meteorite. 200 years of New England weather in all likelihood has meant the demise of any relics of this classic. Yet it is encouraging to note that there is a strewnfield within 150

I just received my 50mm NWA 2828 sphere and I am extremely please with how it turned out. It has a nice baby blue color and very little brown. I wear this phase out but once again this picture doesn't do the specimen justice. I love collecting these but I hate photographing them.

NORAD was way off the mark on this one. Fortunately, the release was based on a report from one eyewitness, not any sort of instrumentation (or I'd be worried about our national security g). Actually, the fireball was over western Colorado, and unrelated to the Lyrids. Details are here:
