[meteorite-list] Hole in Red Rock Lounge Roof Still aMystery?????

[Chris Peterson]

Don't overlook (C) something explosive made the hole, or (D) that an object 
actually went upwards, not down.

There's nothing wrong if somebody wants to investigate, but the description 
of the event is not consistent with a meteorite impact, so it's also 
perfectly understandable for hunters to pass on this one.
