[meteorite-list] Why haven't we heard about this?
I have a copy of the "Wellesville Daily Reporter", April 18, 1883. From the front page: Fort Worth Texas, April 16: "A dispatch from Williams ranche (sic) says that at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, a meteor fell in the outskirts of town, killing several cattle, and destroying the dwelling of Martinz Garica, who with his wife and children were buried beneath the ruins. The meteor resembled a massive ball of fire, and the shock was similar to that of an earthquake. The meteor is still hot and steaming. It is embedded in the earth probably 100 feet. It towers above the surface seventy feet, and will cover about one acre. The concussion was terrific. Nearly every window in town was shattered, and the people were hurled violently from their beds and the goods in the storehouses thrown from the shelves. No lives were lost so far as known, except the Garica family, although several buildings fell. The cattle fled in every direction. The air was filled with sulphurous gas, and the wildest excitement prevailed. This is the largest meteor that has ever fallen, and has already been visited by many people. It has occasioned great excitement all over the surrounding country." http://members.aol.com/sharkkb8/wellsville.jpg GregoryJ.

We have not heard about this because; 1. It turned out to be a UFO and it is now in area 51? 2. Bob Haags great grandfather bought it the first day? 3.The Smithsonian nabbed it and beings it was on private property and not federal land, covered it up? 4. It was a made up story to hide a murder scene? 5. It was a made up story? 6.

Re: [meteorite-list] Why haven't we heard about this?
I did hear about itas a matter of fact I saw it going overhead (I'm about 35 miles from Fort Worth)it passed over my house, and the entire area lit up like it was noon. But, there was a really nice 5 gram rusty piece of Nantan ending on eBay, and I didn't want to miss out on sniping it at the last minute. Craig

Gregory and All, The reason you have not heard of it, is because it did not happen. http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/meteorite-list/2003-March/018369.html Best, Ken http://home.earthlink.net/~magellon/news1.html [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a copy of the "Wellesville Daily Reporter", April 18, 1883.
