[meteorite-list] PA Fireball Meteorite Possibly Found!

[Greg Stanley]

Yes... now that I read the story I see some red flags.

"he spotted the meteorite out of a crater." and

why is it important to "clean" the rock.  That is one of the cardinal rules... is to 'NOT' clean a meteorite, especially from a fresh fall.

There in never a mention of "black" or "charcoal" appearance or a fusion crust.

Oh well... I wonder what it is?
