Hmmm, that meteorites would be sold on marketplaces, that I read only in the high-quality and best researched articles by BBC ;-) It's because of the ambiguity of the word market, I guess. Would make also not so much sense, I mean, people going in the marketplace to buy their foods and goods of

Hi Adam and List, Just for kicks and giggles, you should have those blobs analyzed, to put the story to rest once and for all. 99.9% probability the story and blobs will be debunked. And if they turn out to be something weird and anomalous, then you have some free publicity on your hands.
