[meteorite-list] DOCUMENTED Human strikes - Listeners Correct Auctioneer About Meteorite History

[Michael Blood]

Hi Paul,
        I can think of at least 3 off the top of my head. Of course,
Some people have strange Ideas about what "documented"
means:
1) The obvious: Sylacauga with a photo of the "victime"
Next to a medical Dr.
2) Mbali: a boy was struck in the arm after a small stone passed
Through a banana tree (slowing it down to a "safe" speed)
3) L'Aigle: A coachman was struck(among other things) in this
Thoroughly investigated fall.
        Best wishes, Michael
