Hi Ken,
I'll have them check it out, but we had two independent witnesses who
e-mailed us saying they saw a firery streak across the sky as well at the
right time -- one in Tenino and one in Monroe. Three other experts are on
the scene today with our reporter and they seem to agree it was a meteorite
too, so all signs point to it being legit :)
Sincerely,
Scott Sistek

Subject: Apparent Meteorite Lands In Elma High School Lot
Gentlemen:
I enjoyed your article about the teens finding a meteorite.
After seeing the picture and reading the entire story, I fear you
and the Daily World to be victims of a hoax....
I will not go into detail at this time, but the story is not
consistent with meteorite falls. Pict is not of fresh meteorites.
Best,
Ken Newton
