Hi Listees
Here is the vote of the Scottish jury - not real. If a meteorite was reported
to have fallen on the 31st July/1st August then the crater on the TV report
is not related to any fall. It looks like a hole that was dug several weeks ago
and left. The rocks, soil and the litter are just
Dr. Davidson,
Thank you for your kind reply to the list concerning this event.
My personal take is that the photo of the meteorite is real although it is
unknown whether it is related to this reported event or not;. or perhaps
something in the trash dump exploded? The crater photo reminds me
Nothing at all looks real about it.

Hey Greg,
I actually saw this the other day after running across this episode while
searching for upcoming shows using the key word meteorite. Pretty lame show
as you would already suspect.
The greedy researcher says that the EXACT SHAPE of the meteorite can be studied
to predict where other
Yep, I saw the episode and had to laugh. A mere 40 million dollars and the feds
went after it. It looks like the producer has been watching too much cable
television about meteoritic treasure hunts! It won't be long before meteorites
