Hi Paul,

I thought it was fun to have a piece of the best Palawrong on the Planet:)


There is link on this page to a .pdf file about the Shirokovsky
http://www.meteorman.org/Best_Palawrong.htm


I have been working on this for years to find the best meteorwrongs on the
Planet,
it just goes to show that there are some good fakes out there.
