>>Hi Fresh Fall Fans!

>>(say that ten times fast)

>>This unofficial fall would be called Draveil for discussion purposes.
>>>From what I could gather on the translated stories, it fell on
>>September 9, 2011 and struck a home while the family was away. Is
>>there a known fireball associated with this one, or any video/radar?
>>
>>I updated the Recent Falls page here - http://www.galactic-stone.com/pages/falls

>>I think France should be a little friendlier to hunt than Kenya. Stay
>>safe folks and good luck! Bring home the stones! :)
