(meteorobs) Irish Meteorite Found (?)



Below is from a BBC report.

<<Meteorites which spectacularly crashed on the British Isles two months ago 
have been recovered. It is the first time the remnants of a fireball have 
been found for many years. 

The golf-ball sized fragments of space rock were discovered lying on a local 
road by a grandmother, who wishes to remain anonymous. 

Samples have been sent to the Natural History Museum in London and Dr Sara 
Russell, a meteorite expert told BBC News Online: "There's no doubt, they're 
definitely from a meteorite." >>

For the rest of the story look at:
