Hi Listees Here is the vote of the Scottish jury - not real. If a meteorite was reported to have fallen on the 31st July/1st August then the "crater" on the TV report is not related to any fall. It looks like a hole that was dug several weeks ago and left. The rocks, soil and the litter are just not freshly exposed. Sorry, I know it has almost become axiomatic to call everything coming out of China a fake, but this must surely be!
Hoots mon!
