Maybe there is an Anglo-American and a Continental-European approach to such things. Neither the Peekskill nor the Park Forest meteorites, nor the Wethersfield L6 chondrite that smashed through Robert and Wanda Donahue's ceiling in 1982 make these meteorites something special for most of us here in old Europe. In other words, I side with Pierre with regard to meteorites hitting cars (Michelle Knapp's), meteorites killing cows, etc. It's their provenance not their targets that makes them peculiar for us.
