I couldn't resist, so here are a few more -

Meteorblight - when a meteorite causes reports of sickness, like Carancas.

Condrite - a misrepresented meteorite sold by an unscrupulous dealer.

Loonar - a bogus lunaite offered by some nut who is convinced it is a
real lunar. A recent example is that guy who bombards list members
with hundreds of photo attachments of his loonars.
