[meteorite-list] Meteorite Hits 14 Year Old Boy?

[GeoZay at aol.com]

>>Hollywood's portrayal and the  general public's urban-myth-perception of 
meteors and meteorites are actually  very helpful for people "in the loop" 
to quickly dismiss ridiculous claims, such  as this kid's.
It does save a lot of legwork, eh?<<

I  agree...but I think after this time, there will be a little more  
semi-knowledgeable people around to slip in various plausible details, to make  
what future witnesses say harder to logically dismiss. Now that could be good 
in  the sense that the general public might be showing signs of being 
educated about  meteor/meteorite characteristics. This boys story may be full of 
BS, but I think  folks are beginning to catch on....temporarily. :O)
