It is obvious that Shirokovsky was faked (man-made) in order to defraud the collecting community. The weight and dimensions were perfect for being created in a crucible. I remember when they announced it and everybody's faces inn posted images were obscured by frogman suits or they were looking the other way. I never touched any of this stuff. It smelt like fraud from the beginning to me. The first pieces even had bar-coded labels on them, ready for distribution. I wonder if anything happened to these scam artists?

Hi Greg, I can think of two examples of mysterious specimens. One is Shirokovsky and the other is Mendota. Scientists are certain that both are not meteoritic, but yet, nobody can explain how either one was created. Such stones fall under the category of "We know what it isn't..." versus "we know what it is..."
