Hello listees,
   I got a call last night from a Mr. Carroll Aguillar from Ville Platte, La. He told me that he has like 5 craters on his property, he said they have been there since he was a kid, he is now in his 60's. He said they are now filled in, but you can see where they were and the ground is still lowere in them. They range fro around 5 to 11 feet in diameter. He is wanting to know if there is anybody in the area or somewhere who would be interested in going to see them and try and figure out what they are. I suggested that they may be sink holes, but he is adiment that they are not. He is sure they were from meteorites, I am not 100% convinced, but I do think it may be worth checking out, it might be a good spot to hunt for meteorites. If I lived closer, I would check them out myself.
   If anybody is interested they can contact me and I will give his information to you. He wants somebody to contact him.
Thanks,
Joe Kerchner
