Hi, Michael, The source is a newspaper: New York Times (published in New York, New York, USA) Date (of report in NYT): December 8, 1929 Date of Incident: Not Specified Location: Zvezvan, Yugoslavia Details: A meteortite struck a wedding party in Zvezvan, killing one person. I think that little newspaper is still in business; maybe they kept some of their old papers in the basement; who knows? You could check. :-) Reported in the book Rain Of Iron and Ice by John S.

Re: [meteorite-list] Info needed
Dave, I appreciate your high degree of precision... and your vast knowledge of my country of birth...:) The Macua (or Makua for english speaking people), are the largest etnic group of Mozambique, 5 million of them, nice, friendly people, out of a grandtotal population of 19.406.000 (2005). Besides their own language Macua, they speak Portuguese as well. The Macua live mainly in 3 of Mozambique's provinces: Cabo Delgado, Nampula (where I was born), and Zambezia, some 258.800 sq Kms in round numbers. May a nice meteorite fall in your backyard...

Re: [meteorite-list] Info needed
Hello Rob and list, In his 1975 book, Fallen from Heaven: Meteorites and Man, a compilation of descriptions of some 100 falls and finds, Richard M. Pearl notes the following regarding the Homestead fall: Between 10:20 and 10:30 p.m. on the cold winter night of Februrary 12, 1875, a tremendous ball of fire streaked across the Iowa sky from south to north. It began to slow at an altitude of 2 1/2 miles. Great detonations were heard, accompanied by a 'rushing, rumbling, and crashing sound.' 'The observerswere quite overcome with fearhorses shying, rearing, and plunging to get away, and dogs retreating and barking with signs of fear.' The sight was visible from St. Paul to St. Louis and from Omaha to Chicago, but, as is customary in such events, the witnesses disagreed as to what they saw and heard. This was the phenomenon that dropped the Homestead stony meteorite, over 100 pieces of which, weighing about 484 pounds, were picked up in Iowa County between Amana ( Amanda von der Hohe, settled by the communal Amana Society ) and Boltonsville in the several years afterward. The first stone was found on February 15, lying on the snow and sticking to the snow and ice beneath. It had bounced from its original position. Professor Gustavus Hinrichs, of Iowa State University, who taced its course, published in St. Louis in 1905 an illustrated booklet in which he urged adoption of the name Amana instead of Homestead. The railroad station at this latter place became headquarters of the meteor-brokers, where trading at $2 a pound occurred. Other names that have been used include Iowa County, in which it fell, Marengo, Sherlock ( Sarah Sherlock found the first large piece, the Sherlock stone , weighing 7 pounds) and West Liberty. Yale University has the largest collection, 35 kilograms. The above is the entirety of Pearl's entry for Homestead. Hope this helps. Best wishes, Charlie ---BeginMessage--- Hello all- I'm looking for any info about the falls of Allegan and/or Homestead.

The section immediately preceding the list is a reference list on pages 125 to 130. I thought that the word preceding might be a typo, but what PROcedes the list is the Chronological list.
