Hullo, Further to the story of the girl who had this 'meteorite' hit her foot....
Saw the object (and the girl) on TV - sorry - doesn't ring true to me! The rock is a vesicular mass looking very like a piece of pumice or slag and also the girl reported that it was warm (don;t they all say that?!!) Strange things do drop out of the sky - many years ago, whilst sitting in my sister's garden a (vinyl) record plopped out of the sky, on a clear and sunny day, and embedded itself up to the center hole in the ground. Usual exclusions apply i.e. no kids about or aircraft &c. so God knows where this thing came from - but 3 of us saw it land...! For your info the record was "Vado Via" by Drupi - a one-hit-wonder here in the UK. The record was later used to scoop up a dead bird if I recall! we live in an odd world..... I shall keep an eye out to see what develops! In gentle decay, d. "I have a proof that x^n+y^n=z^n never has integer solutions for n>2. however, it won't fit into my signature file...."
