Mr. Farmer;

I'm not sure if you are the right person to contact but I am quite =
ignorant to this subject. About two weeks ago a large meteor entered the =
sky over the Grays Harbor County area in Washington State. I witnessed =
the fireball shoot across the sky while at a residence on a call. About =
an hour after I cleared the call I was notified by a County Deputy that =
three young men had flagged him down on the road stating that they had =
witnessed a small shower of debris fall from the sky shortly after the =
meteor had passed over head. The meteor continued north.=20

The fragments landed on the football field of the Elma High School. The =
Deputy and myself checked the area with the boys and found a sandy area =
near the field covered in small crater like holes. Near or in each hole =
was a small black glassy like material that was hot to touch. Some =
pieces had struck a set of aluminum bleachers and made small dents. =
Other pieces hit the asphalt walkway and melted. The whole area of =
impact was about 100' x100' wide.

I was able to collect some samples of the debris. I attempted to keep =
the site protected by not telling anyone so that people like yourself =
would have a shot at it before a wave of morons destroyed the area. =
After I hade gone home to get some sleep I was notified by a fellow =
Officer that some idiot had alerted the press. By the next day every =
yahoo in the county had trampled the scene. Two men (don't remember =
their names) arrived to investigate the scene. They claimed that the =
material they were shown was not meteor material and that they doubted =
that any thing even fell there. I wished that I had been there to ask =
where in the heck they got that idea. The pieces that I have at home =
look just like the fragments that you have on the front page of your =
site. After looking at some of the pictures it is possible that the =
material found could be only the burnt shell that forms around the =
meteor itself.

If you have any questions or would like to view the samples please let =
me know. My E-Mail is t.bealert_at_elmapd.com.

Thank You,
Travis E. Bealert
