Collectors:

A couple of days ago I was contacted by telephone by Mr. Warren Wiley
of Saskatchewan. (Why me?) He told me that he'd found "the second
largest" stone of the Dec. 2 fireball and that he wanted to sell
it. He seems to be a nice fellow, so I offered to pass his
information along to the meteorite list, which was OK with him. He
does not have Internet access. A friend of his sent a message this
morning with the following text and some attached photos, which I've
posted on this website:

Mr Wiley's text: "This specimen is from the Buzzard Coulee near Lone
Rock, Saskatchewan. This is an immaculate masterpiece of atmospheric
sculpting. Heavily regmaglyphed, aesthetic specimen. Found December
2, 2008, 35 minutes after sundown. I have video documentation of my 4
day search; where I found it, and associate professor, Alan
Hildebrand, coming to our house to authenticate. Alan Hildebrand and
other scientists have completed the lab analysis on my chondrite, and
it is an (H 3/4) chondrite. Warren Wiley (owner) is putting it up for
bids, serious inquiries only. Contact Warren at 1-780-842-4858."

Please do not contact me about this offer. I'm just the messenger
and I won't respond to enquiries about this issue. I'm only doing
this because I wanted to see the photos.
