Hi,

    "Wingstars" are meteor-wrongs. A gentleman named
Russell T. Wing published "The Discovery of the Wingstars,
Volume I and II," decades ago. It's a classic case of delusion;
he saw "meteorites" everywhere: quartz ones, linestone ones,
petrified wood ones...
    The books are the best collection of color plates of
meteor-wrongs ever made, though.

Hi List!
     Has anyone ever heard of wingstars? They look just like meteorites,
but no nickel! I have seen a book on them but can't remember the name of
it. Anyone know of it? Jim Balister
