NOT a meteorite and author seems a little out of touch with reality...

Greetings listees,
I have purchased some land in Utah, and am making plans to move
there, and therefore have developed an interest in obtaining some
Utah meteorites. (As good an excuse as any, right?) There are 19
meteorites listed in the Bulletin, only 6 of which have TKW's
exceeding 1kg. I received search results from E-Bay today fitting
that description, but I am highly skeptical of the ad. Check it out:

First of all, the account of the fall sounds a bit dubious in spots.
And no photos are available, due to "camera problems". The recovered
specimen had a glow the size of a golf ball, but is only described
as being 9mm. Is that the longest dimension? No weight given. The
other, unrecovered one, appeared to be the size of a basketball. And
he'll lead us right to the search area. All this for only $1600.
Small unphotographed specimen of undisclosed weight included. ;^)
Any takers? By the way, I inquired, seeking more info and evidence,
but have had no reply at this point.
I've only been collecting 2 or 3 years, but I haven't seen an ad
quite like this until now. Any thoughts from those of you more
experienced?
Thank you for your input.
