Hi Matteo,

That's great, maybe we'll find something new.

I heard about it because after it was published someone claimed it
contained fossils of some kind. Later this was said to be a joke, but
the fall itself was genuine. Today the only mention is in stupid
"possible UFO crash lists" because of the "fossils" but, as I said,
the event was real.

Thanks,

Chris
