Mike,
Ahhhh, mucho gracious!
Did the curator verify the date, June,
1999?
The man was not in the car? It was
parked?

Meteorite?
I can fill you in, last year i was in Madrid and
saw this stone, The curator of the Spanish collection told Jim Strope and I
that the stone fell on a parked BMW at night and broke the window, and bent
the steering wheal. The man was not in the car when she told me! the
stone is still unclassified just because they have not yet gotten to it.

Meteorite?
Hello Everyone,
I have an astronomy textbook (Voyages Through
the Universe, Fraknoi, Morrison, and Wolf, 1997) in which a meteorite is
reported to have struck a car and the driver. On page 275, the text
reads:
In June199, Jose Martin and his wife were
driving from Madrid, Spain to a golfing vacation when a fist-sized meteorite
crashed through the windshield, bounced off the dashboard, broke Jose's
little finger, and then landed in the car's back seat.
Does anyone have any information about this
meteorite?
Best wishes,
-Walter
