Add Thailand's Chiang Khan to the list. A fisherman was struck as
reported in the original abstract.
By the way, an absolutely superlative Chiang Khan specimen is being

button tektite) without the flange.
Check this out....

suggested — there is at least one documented case of a
personbeing hit by a
falling rock from outer space.”
