We acquired a computer game still in the box that was struck = by a meteorite inside a house on Dunham street in the Park Forest = neighborhood. This is from the same site that Mike Farmer purchased the = House Hammering stone. This game box acted as a receptacle trapping = some fragments from the meteorite, wood from the attic and sheet rock = from the ceiling. While examining the contents of the game box under a = microscope we were shocked to see the following objects: Dumbbell shaped glassy forms Teardrop shaped glassy forms Rod shaped glassy forms Patty shaped glassy forms with sunken centers Ball shaped glassy forms Dumbbell http://www.lunarrock.com/ParkForest/microtektites1.jpg Dumbbell and Teardrop http://www.lunarrock.com/ParkForest/microtektites2.jpg Mixture of several types http://www.lunarrock.com/ParkForest/microtektites3.jpg These are all the same shapes you will find in Tektites, yet these = cannot be called impactites since the meteorite did not melt any objects = when it crashed through the roof. This is no joke so you collectors in = the field may want to revisit the houses that were struck by meteorites = and collect the debris left behind before it is too late. We do not = know the scientific importance of this discovery but will find out soon = since the University of Washington is interested in pursuing these = strange objects. It has been suggested that these objects may have come = from the ablation train left behind by this fall. It is our hope that = more of this material is collected before it is too late. All the Best Adam Hupe =20 ------=_NextPart_000_001D_01C2F929.F0F8AE80 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Dear List Members,</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>You are going to think we are insane = announcing=20 this but we feel it is important.
