The locals donīt have more information about the case, and as I told, the potential falling area is huge, travelling is difficult, gold-miners are not most friendly for strangers and so on. So I suppose, this case will stay unsolved, if there is not someone willing to put some millions for the expedition with couple of planes, helicopters, trucks and so on... And in fact even that doesnīt quarantee anything. Siberia is a strange place, and there happen strange things. And itīs also true, thereīs so much to find, you can in fact find, what you are looking for, as somebody wrote some time ago on the list. take care, pekka j.divelbiss_at_att.net wrote: >Robert and others, > >Serg from the Comet Meteorite Shop told me the same thing about Vitim at the >Springfield show.
