Hi Wu,

thank you so much for your report and the pics - especially documenting the
impact structures is utmost deserving!

Does there already exist a map shwing the places where the four masses
touched down? Did you speak with the people living in this area and collect
their eye- and ear-witness-reports?

Best regards and greets to China,
Matthias

> Dear members,

> I noticed there must be some mistake in the media reporting. Such as

> pieces were recovered until now, and except the biggest one, which is
> 12.5kg landing on a mountain top of Xiaosigou village, the other 3 pieces
> were all bronken while landing. what I have seen is there are hundreds of
> fragments, not individuals! And also the expert from Beijing Planetarium
> said he had found "crystal things" in the mitrix is also a big funny joke!
> There is one piece landed on the concrete road of Yehong village,and made
> a shallow crater (please see the photoes in the following link), and what
> the expert collected is a broken piece from the concrete road, and the
> crystal things he said should be the sand and quartz in the concrete. I
