As you appear to be particularly interested in them, I will send you a backgrounder on some of the people involved with them. Any other list members who may want a copy of this please contact me off list. E.P.

On one of the stones, which is a drawing of two Indians?..Looking up at the moon while an Asteroid?..bounces off the moon and seemingly heads towards earth?.. could that account for the similarity between the "Black Matte material"..and the Lunar Procellerum KREEP?....Thanks...
