Then please explain what "rogue meteorite hunters" is supposed to mean. It implies illegal or bad meteorite hunters. I am pretty pissed off after reading that crap.

True meteorite hunters don't pretend 5 years after the fact that "Alpha site" is not actually Admire. Michael Farmer Sent from my iPhone
