Hello Eric,

When you see him again pleae tell him how much I loved his book. I consider
it essential reading for those interested in the subject.
Comparing the two I noticed a number of falls

One of my criteria was to have a reliable source that a researcher could
followup on if he/she so desired. In other words, the Sun (in the UK) or the
Globe (here in the US) do not count. The other criterion was that the object
had to actually hit something man-made or humans or animals.
Specifically referring to Wasada, I don't know what my reasoning was in
excluding that one. I must have overlooked it. Thanks for bringing it to my
attention. I will update the list.
Regards,
Walter
