lunatics, it's more descriptive).

Case in point: I was the first person to decide to search Dry Lakes for
meteorites, and this turned up the Lucerne Dry Lake (CA) finds, the initial
find on July 21, 1963. No one else seemed to very much care about hunting
on Dry Lakes then. Many hours were spent searching a number of Dry Lakes

Hi, Mike,
I guess you didn't read any of the early posts in this thread - it CAN be

Gary has some samples for the lab, and there will soon be a legitimate,
definitive end to it.

Hello, List,
There has been over thirty posts in this thread with barely an interruption.

While curious about the composition of this rock only from a geology
perspective, I too would rather read a lengthy discussion about something
more relative to the list.

Hi, Gary and all,

wonder if it technically could still be advertised as a possible meteorite
on eBay thereafter, simply by the support of the vision.
Otherwise, everyone with a piece of furnace slag can represent it as
I agree with you Pete. If it is incontrovertibly identified as terrestrial

If it is a religious justification, science just plain doesn't count. The
vision allegedly happened and thus the scientific method is not applicable to a
believer. Anyone buying a religious vision simply will have to do it on faith
and not look for a relationship of convenience with science,
