no way, tons of meteorites have flow lines, it is natural for anything falling and melting to have a flow line. That does not denote stable flight. If you are trying to sell me something oriented, I need to see shape, lines, rollover lipping, etc. Combined, those things can make nice orientation. But pretty much every Millbillillie has flow lines, many are oriented, but I saw no signs of orientation on that piece.
