"….for example, we're in a village where there were 
reports yesterday that people had found small black 
pebbles in the snow.

And these were holes coated in ice, like an upside 
down icicle. And if you dig down into these holes 
you find a small black pebble. And they've found 
thousands of these in this village. Women would 
take them out in their kitchens and show you a 
handful. And now it seems that these are, in fact, 
meteor shards."

Yours,

Paul H.
