Maybe even set the hay field on fire or was hot to the touch.<BR><BR>Bottom line is metal that does not attract a magnet is NOT a meteorite.

Later he worked for and retired from NASA. In fact he showed me <DIV></DIV>>pictures of the lunar experiments that he designed himself, setting on the <DIV></DIV>>lunar surface. I have no reason not to believe the guy, he is very well to <DIV></DIV>>do, educated, etc..even has a small lab in his basement! <DIV></DIV>>The point is, he showed me a very remarkable piece of metal, told me what <DIV></DIV>>it's classification was, but I can't remember, and told me his meteorite <DIV></DIV>>story, and part of the story is that it is not magnetic. <DIV></DIV>>I may have to go revisit Fred and see if I can get anymore details! <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>This Eaton meteorite sounds strange to me, I'm a bit skeptical, does anyone <DIV></DIV>>know if it is still a mystery? <DIV></DIV>>Thanks, <DIV></DIV>>Larry <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Add photos to your e-mail with <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMEENUS/2746">MSN 8.</a> Get 2 months FREE*.</html> Received on Thu 24 Apr 2003 11:10:02 AM PDT |
