[meteorite-list] Fw: Fall in Canada in 1984-85 near Devon, AB?

[Greg Stanley]

Bernd:

My friend is Canadian and grew up near Edmonton, AB, so I do not think it could be Georgia (that would be one large fireball).  Perhaps another year, as he may be a bit older than he wants us to know.  Could Innisfree have hit a car?  I think this is 1977 (could he be 8 years off?) not sure.  He's told me this story a few times and it sounds legit.  Is it possible this did not get recorded and the person kept the meteorite?
