>Perhaps many meteorwrongs actually were meteorites! I seem to encounter misguided individuals who tenuously believe such dribble on regular basis. Russell T Wing is the exemplar of meteorwrong 'wingnuts' just as Harvey Nininger is to meteorite enthusiasts. Here is an example from Wing's book:"This entire experience seemed incredible and unbelievable. How could a small collection of stones - not over 100 - and over half of them picked up out of my rock garden in 1969, produce 25 earth-type quartz meteorites when never before had a quartz meteorite been known! ... But in this investigation, the unthinkable thing seems to be the common thing. And again, after thinking things over, my unbelievable collection of quartz meteorites needed to balance it off; they simply could not be alone. There must also be many other kinds of meteorites here if my quartz ones were authentic."
And Wing goes on to 'discover' 'authentic' meteoritic petrified wood and meteoritic fossils, etc. The wingstars were everywhere! All you have to do is look! Yikes! Can anyone explain this dogged type thinking? That the owner's rock HAS TO BE a meteorite despite the fact that every expert contacted has told them differently. I just don't understand the thinking but I want to. kn On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 10:12 PM, James Balister <balisterja...@att.net> wrote: > On the meteorite men Jeff and Steve showed a meteorite that was non magnetic > and seemed to have no iron at all.
