Dear Tom and All,
I hope that Jim will supply with the data. As I said earlier, it is quite
possible that the stone
could be transported by some still poorly understood atmospheric processes
associated with lightning. Such stones a couple centuries ago were called
"thunderstones". Unfortunately many modern scientists prefer to ignore
them, being unable to explain. In this case we can test this.
It is interesting that the item is not completely "off-topic", as just 2
centuries ago
thunderstones played a large role in meteoritics-science appearence.
Best wishes to All,
Andrei Ol'khovatov,
Moscow, Russia

The 'fulgarite' shown on CNN was some kind of slag about 18" in diameter. It
was neither delicate nor a tube. It wasnt necessarily the 'meteor' either.
But this rock allegedly struck one of the service stands with an electric
meter - shattered the glass and came to a rest nearby. They showed an
indentation in the driveway strata - not a pure asphalt but a hardened
surface of gravel. The indentation appeared to be about 6 inches deep with
sedimentation in the bottom from rain that night. This indentation may or
may not have correlated with the impact. Can anyone resolve these
discrepancies?
