Hi Michael:

Great story! It's just extremely  highly unlikely that a person interested 
in finding meteorites will ever see one fall right in front of him, 
especially a mini, and then recover it.  What with the lack of a fireball, 
sonic boom, electrophonic sound waves and all the other attendant features 
of a meteorite fall, it seems even more unlikely, maybe even impossible. 
I've gotten several emails and heard several stories at the museum from 
people seeing tiny meteorites fall in front of them, hitting them, their 
cars, houses or whatever.  I never know what to make of it.
