Hi List,

Is there a theory for why there have been no witnessed falls of lunar
meteorites? It seems odd to me that we have 4 Martian witnessed falls
(Shergotty, Chassigny, Zagami, Nakhla, and almost Lafayette) and no
lunars.

I also find it odd that no lunaites have been recovered from the
Americas or Europe.

It would seem that we are long overdue for two things to happen - for
a lunaite to be recovered in the Americas/Europe and for a lunar
witnessed fall. I wonder which will happen first?

Best regards,

MikeG
