Re: [meteorite-list] "Mad Anne Ridge" meteorite???
I find it remarkable that this guy inquired about a non-documented Virginia fall just two days before the very real, very documented Lorton, Virginia fall. What are the odds?

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).
