Later he worked for and retired from NASA. In fact he showed me pictures of the lunar experiments that he designed himself, setting on the lunar surface. I have no reason not to believe the guy, he is very well to do, educated, etc..even has a small lab in his basement! The point is, he showed me a very remarkable piece of metal, told me what it's classification was, but I can't remember, and told me his meteorite story, and part of the story is that it is not magnetic. I may have to go revisit Fred and see if I can get anymore details! This Eaton meteorite sounds strange to me, I'm a bit skeptical, does anyone know if it is still a mystery?
