Hello List,

I had occasion to co-host a luncheon at a government installation Saturday last whose attendees included some of the brightest and highly credentialed members of several aeronautical and astrophysical sciences. Neither young, nor old, of this group could identify the object I projected on a screen for their study. That object being the remarkably shaped, flow lined and oriented Sikhote Alin. Not one recognized it as extra-terrestial. It got very quiet after the animated ten minute "dust up" between these scientists was concluded by our announcing it was a meteorite. Truly, this is a remarkable specimen and I personally thank you for all the fun I had showing and telling. It made me look smarter than I am.

Count Deiro
