[meteorite-list] Re: Meteorite on August 10th, 1862, in Jamaica?

[chris aubeck]

Dear Bernd,

That makes a lot of sense!

As part of my historical/folkloric study I am writing about a
meteorite that  allegedly fell on that date near Kingston, Jamaica.
The earliest reference to it is from 1874 - a very imaginative
account, but in my experience the dates are generally chosen for a
reason.

In this case the writer was a German scientist writing about
astronomy, so I guess he knew something I didn't.

Thanks again,

Chris.
