As I once argued... if even one stretch tektite exists, then there is absolutely no way these objects could have come from the moon. There is no mechanism by which such could possibly survive in that form after having entered the earth's atmosphere at the requisite velocity of 7+ miles per/sec after having fallen the distance from the moon to earth. The cinch is that there are not just one such stretch tektites-- but many.
