I wonder who he spoke to? There can't be many experts
in Scotland. Maybe it was Rob Elliott? It certainly
wasn't me (couldn't be, it was seen by an expert).
This is the first anyone in the British and Irish
Meteorite Society have heard about it, I think.
Wouldn't mind taking a look at it myself.

Once again, there's the report of it being warm,
possibly hours later.
Uh-oh! I feel an attack of cynicism coming
on...must...take...medication...

Where the heck IS Seaton, anyway?
