Hi All,
Strangeas there is all this talk at the moment about fresh iron 'fusion
crust' then this does not look like a fresh iron fall but just like one of the
treated sikhote alins I just mentioned in my last post!!!
Dubious!

The whole story is ridiculous - such a stone should have made a little

Aloha Jason,
Agreed that this boyʻs story sounds bogus. But the last sentence of the story
explains things clearly. ...the fifth-grader said he still wants to be an
engineer and build things.
Well he certainly engineered a fine fairy tale. Guess he couldn't wait for the
Tell a Fairy Tale
Meteorite Hoax, or meteorite exaggeration?
As a meteorite hoax, it is missing many of the classic symptoms, no flaming
trail, no red hot iron at the bottom of the hole etc.
Let me propose an alternate explanation: The size of the hole and the material
shooting 5 feet high was an exaggeration,
Mike, All,
Two problems - 1) how do you explain the foot-deep hole? It's one
thing to exaggerate a thumping sound, but a hole tends to be pretty
tangible evidence. Either there is a foot-deep hole or there isn't.
Someone should go check, perhaps...
2) Check out the odds. Even if it were a
Hi Jason etc.
How to explain a foot deep hole? You missed my point. Maybe it is not a foot
deep! First, a 10 year old boy might no have a very good idea of how much a
foot is, or he may be exaggerating. Second, you have to trust that the news
media got it right. Can you count on that?

Another picture here showing the so called impact place/pit!!

Could a small iron like that falling at terminal velocity produce that in what
looks like very hard ground?looks artificial to me. (unless some excavation
was done to retrieve it)

Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I would certainly
agree! Thanks, Graham.
A small meteorite could never make a big hole like in the picture, but people
could, while digging around to find the meteorite at the bottom, so my
hypothesis has not been conclusively falsified,
That hole has definitely been dug up. But it also doesn¹t appear to be a
foot deep. Perhaps in a 10 year old¹s imagination it is.
I just ran the numbers, and if we assume a spherical body (which I have to
do) moving at its aerodynamically-limited speed then a 48 g iron meteorite
would be
