Hi Sterling and List,
That is something I had not considered - the glassy nature of a tektite.
So, since the moon is not a tektite, could it be a big impactite?

Hi Listees and Hunters,
Well, the snow should be just about melted by nowmethinks. (I
live in Florida, so what do I know)
Are the hunters going to descend on the Lorton area and start looking
again? Or, has this fall been written off?
Best regards and happy huntings,

Well, right now, we are dealing with yellow snow... (pollen)
We did have some pretty torrential rains a few weeks ago which helped
get rid of the last remnants of snow, but which could have washed any
small pieces away that hadn't been snowplowed onto yards...

This St. louis Meteorite is interesting. What if the car had been driving on

in the Lorton Court Case. As that meteorite also never did hit actual Earth. It

I wouldn't equate it at all to the pole analogy, because...well, it's
different. The pole is already owned by someone to begin with.
You can't really argue that, if I hit a pole with my car, I will gain
the right to own it. Even if my car is parked and a telephone pole
falls on it,

Not correct, Jason.
There exists the concept of ownerless objects.
The third stone of the Neuschwanstein-fall was such an object,
Amazing. Who owns this?
A bit off topic but who knows the cause? Meteorite hit? very cool.

I have a question about Alex's run in with being hit on the head by a rock that

this meteorite was bigger and hit him and caused some harm. And lets say Alex

I would think this would fall under the Act of God ruling. I'm not sure
about Australian law, but in the US an Act of God is used for damage caused

Hello Greg and Listers,
Great point that you brought up about the Act of God ruling but my question

Since the area is volcanic terrain, my guess is that it is the remnants of a

Nice pieces.
But how does one now trade with ASU?
I traded frequently in the past and now things appear to have changed. I have
tried to contact Dr. Garvie but get no response. Is Dr. Wadhwa the correct

I just got a phone call from a couple of guys who saw a large meteor that lit
up the sky and ground on the West North West side of Rockford, IL. Tomorrow, I
will be trying to find other witnesses to the event. Hopefully we are able to
find more people who saw it and maybe track it down.

Yes. Just confirmed on local news here in St. Louis. @ airliners reporting red

Thank you Steve.
Local news in St. Louis reported that Northern Kansas and part of Iowa has
people calling in sightings. Hope it didn't come down in a populated area.
Perhaps it's a Joe Dirt meteorite.
Keep us posted.

I just called the Rockford PD, They have had several reports. I have contact
info to some witnesses, I will be contacting them first thing in the am.
Rockford is mostly west of Chicago. The reports of it falling south of Chicago
is probably from somebody south of Chicago who though it was closer
I believe this is most likely the same one I was called about a minute after it
fell. I have contact info to some eye witnesses and will be talking to them
