Hi Dirk,
Just glad to see that you have posted this little cute story at your news
weblog :-)
Just a remark, the text in the last paragraph reflects my own personal
opinion, after having looking closer at the picture of the "meteorite".
Anyway, I will post any additional information to this story on the list.
Now to some other Scottish whiskies that can be used to facilitate the
prononciation of Finnish - samic words. I can warmly reccomend this two (and
they are also easy to prononce!!):
Glenrothes 72 (bottled march 29, 2004, Signatory Vintage)
Rosebank 90 (Duncan Taylor & Co)
Happy hunting!
Thomas

Dear Listoids,
It looks like the dog Hopper now has got a competitor,
living in southern Sweden! Her name is Molly.
According to the newspaper Sydsvenska Dagbladet, a
meteorite fell down in front of a group of cildren (and the
dog Molly) last week, just outside the small village
St.Olof, situated in the Swedish provice of Scania, about
100 km east of Copenhagen.
Heres a link to the article:
http://sydsvenskan.se/sverige/article538923/Barn-nara-att-traffas-av-mystisk-flygande-sten.html
I have tried to translate the text content to English.
The children Villmaron Andreasson 9, Linn-Klara
Andreasdaughter 7, Ebba Larsson 8, and Vinga Andreasdaughter
11, was out and went with the family dogs in the grove
behind Sankt Olof (in the province of Scania, southernmost
Sweden).
It said "schwissssss", said Villmaron and shows with his
arms how fast the stone damp down, just a few meters in
front of them.
"It was like smoke".
When the stone hit the ground, dust and smoke swirled up.
Villmaron first thought it was a branch that had fallen
down, but the dog Molly, that first got very scared, finally
took courage, and sniffed her way to the stone, situated in
a hole a few inches down.
It was Molly who found it!
The stone is very black and full of holes. Looks like it
was burnt of fire, says Villmaron.
It almost looks like a piece of petrified lava says
Villmarons father Andreas Johansson.
The children immediately took the stone with them and run
home. They were very excited, says their mother Maja
Larsson.
They talked in mouth of each other and told their parents
that the rock fell from the sky with a high velocity and how
the gravel had whirled up and how scared the dog had been.
Then the kids run on to Grandma and Grandpa living in the
same village, in order to show them the stone too. When the
children had left, their mother Maja started to brood.
"First after a while it went up for me how lucky the
children had been. Imagine if anybody of them had been hit
by the stone? It could have gone really bad".
The first I found out to do was to call Ystads Allehanda (a
local newspaper) says Maja laughing.
Is it really a meteorite? Well the family is convinced that
it is! At the official web site of the National Museum of
Natural History in Stockholm, we learn that a meteorite will
be magnetic.
Maja ties a refrigerator magnet to a sewing thread and
holds the magnet next to the stone. The magnet attracts
directly to the stone. The shape and colour also corresponds
to the description of a meteorite at the National Museum web
site. Can it be of any worth wonder Maja tactfully?
But she rapidly concludes that this issue is not important.
The stone will be framed and hanged up on the wall, as a
memory of an exceptionally event.
First the stone will be sent to the Swedish Museum of
Natural History for identification. If it's turns up to is
genuine meteorite the story will be even better!
The picture of the stone makes me a little bit suspicious.
Has some similarities to a piece of slag.
Happy hunting.
Thomas Österberg
