I asked if he was including them in his data and he said no. Is that really true? I don't know. He did have some nice individuals and fragments however, and claimed his strewn field info came from real meteorites,some gathered by people whose names I recognized.Some of the coordinates included a bunch that were sold by the local Postmaster, who supposedly got most of his stones from another man I met out there that was a local, and rather proficient at finding the stones in the opening days of the fall. Even though Atul may not be completely reliable, the fact remains that the larger stones are N.W. of the smaller ones, contradicting the Satellite info.... unless of course there is such a thing as a reverse fall! Adam, I never heard of that, is this like the April fools joke about Venus? Please elaborate on this, I would like to know what falls have a reverse distribution of material, that seems to defy the rules! Mass and velocity, blah blah... you know, that physics stuff How can it possibly be backward?
