lighting etc.
2. It might be old, but its still has commercial/secret/classified
components to it that I am sure the government wouldn't want in general
circulation!
Warning the general public not to touch these things is all part of a

These same reasons were used at another "crash site", Roswell. Hmmm?

Thanks, Tom

As for the 'the rocks where hot to the touch' statement (made after the
'Elma' 'fall'), - it's a sure way of sorting out the GENUINE falls from
the not-so-Genuine ones, lets not deter people from making this
statement it is a useful indicator, since most of the scams/fake falls
over the last few years have included hot-rock-flames-burnt trees type
statements!!
