The Russians did eventually land on Venus and got atmospheric isotope %. Been reading about NWA011 age ~2GY? O isotopes seem wrong but the age would be about right. Why probably ot that one, Venus still has activce volcanos thus basaltic material. Theorectically how much more difficult would it be for a Venusian to find it's way to earth? What would we expect in a Venunsian basalt meteorite or why haven't any been identified?

I wonder where all the stuff (including the Upper Volta meteorite mentioned in the earlier NASA memo) is? For that matter, I wonder where Clarence Caldwell's airplanes are? Clarence Caldwell was a aviation experimenter that made airplanes with round wings in the 1930's. Nothing dramatic, I am afraid, just standard piper-cub like airplanes with round wings and propellers. No strange powers. Nonetheless, when the UFO controversy broke out, in the late 1940's, the USAF sent a black bag team and got his airplanes out of a tobacco curing shed he left them in years before. This was mistakenly publicized by the local police chief in local papers near Glen Burnie, MD. The airplanes were carted off to--where? What became of them? They would be good for a local aviation history museum. But that is off topic, except by comparison to the Kecksburg "meteorite" case, so I go no further.
