Hi Matt

Cool photo. I am amazed by all the coincidences between the two falls.

1 Both were actually seen to fall (fairly uncommon occurrence for falls)
2 Both were picked up immediately after the fall
3 Both were dug out of an impact pit
4 Both fell in afternoon Johnstown _at_ 4:20 Berthoud @ 1:33
5 Both fell in the same county (Weld), in fact within 5 miles of each others
or less
6 Both are probably achondrites
There might be others if there is a second stone recovered from Berthoud.
Strewn field could overlap. Both could have a similar flight path. Both would be
multiple stone recoveries etc.

Kind of fun/amazing don't you think?

Mike
