Thanks Jason.
The material I saw listed Allegeny County in Virginia/West Virginia.
Sounds like the same character though. Interesting tales.

Regardless, the MetBull shows nothing after 1950 in either state.
I'm curious to learn where this guy got his info.

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] "Mad Anne Ridge" meteorite???
I checked out the ridge - the only references I found to a "Mad Anne's
Ridge" were somewhere in Allegany County, NY, but the only fall within
New York that happened within a few decades of the 1960's was the
Schenectady meteorite, which fell *nowhere* near Allegany County - or
the town of Allegany (not in said county). And that stone fell in
1968.

But there's a pretty amusing story as to how the ridge got its name here:

Good old pioneer tales...
So either it's a myth or it's unreported.

Jason

Hi Linton and List,
Grady's Catalogue of Meteorites doesn't contain any entry on that name
or variation of that name.
Best regards and clear skies,

Greetings listoids,
Someone on another forum (Astromart) asked about this alleged meteorite,
supposed to have fallen in the early '60's. I've never heard of it, but
that
doesn't mean much. The MetBull shows no search results though, and that
carries a bit more weight. Has anybody heard this name before, or is
this
guy out to lunch?
Linton
I'm fairly certain this has nothing to do with our beloved friend in
Colorado. ;^)
