In the latest issue of our METEORITE magazine, you'll find an article by Matteo
(pictures courtesy of Franceso) about the Sinnai chondrite (Sardinia) that fell
on February 19, 1956 in the early morning hours. It seems it is an H6 chondrite
but could be anything: an H4,

house, in the space of 11 years. The first in 1971 the second in 1982, an
event [events] against all astronomical odds.
