Hi Listees,

No one mentioned this?

Apparently the meteorite that was reported and fell Sunday night in 
Argentina is already confirmed by several pieces.  This earlier article 
shows  the location, and here is a translation of the "foreign tongue" 
for Alfonso:

"Nearby [Entre Rios] is the locality of Berduc, where the agricultural 
engineer Gabriela Preto told of the recovery of various pieces of black 
rocks, as if burned, that when scratched expose a metallic and silvered 
interior.  They can't be cut, nor scratched with the finger.  They will 
be analyzed by Mariano Petter, the director of the Enterriana 
Association of Astronomy, who is investigating this in the area."

Best wishes and Great Health,
Doug
