Hi Regine,
Having been a collecor during that time, I can verify from
personal information I read (I believe in sky and telescope)
that the people did think it was a cure from heaven
Thanks Al, I have the article now.
I did some research on the boy some time ago, unfortunately there are no
documented details on who he was.
Back in 1992 I did see a video of the field interview with the boy (through an
interpreter) made by Hans Betlem, who did te field research at Mbale.
Hello Marco, Regine, and List,

There is a photograph of the boy in the MAPS article on Mbale.
Unfortunately, only a bw photo. A color photo can be found here:

Yep, the one on the left!

Hi all,
there is a story circulating on the locals of Mbale having eaten meteorite
powder in the belief it was a divine cure for Aids. Can anyone back that up
with a source / more details?
Thanks,
