Replying myself.....

Some more arguments, for that what I wrote to the Campo case ect....

Cause I'm an amateur only, here some statistics of scientists:

In the 5 years from the year 1996 to 2000, there where found in Libya:
1084 meteorites.

Then the "hunters" stayed away, mostly cause it's to dangerous there.

So then in the 6 years from 2001 to 2007 were found not more than:
45 meteorites.


That's what we are risking and will face, if we allow our protectionist
longings to prevail.

Best!
Martin

Thoughts....

In the 20-years period from 1960 to 1980 20 meteorites were found in
Canada. 5 falls and 15 finds.

In the last 20 years, when meteorites underwent a popularization and people
got aware of them like never before,
there were found only 8 meteorites in Canada. 3 falls and 5 finds.

Accident or the result of Canadian meteorite policy?


In USA and Europe "amateurs" would try to narrow down and investigate such a
new possible fall. In Canada - I'm not so sure.......

Best!
