Hi Wu,

thank you so much for your report and the pics - especially documenting the 
impact structures is utmost deserving!

Does there already exist a map shwing the places where the four masses 
touched down? Did you speak with the people living in this area and collect 
their eye- and ear-witness-reports?

Best regards and greets to China,
Matthias

> were all bronken while landing. what I have seen is there are hundreds of 
> fragments, not individuals! And also the expert from Beijing Planetarium 
> said he had found "crystal things" in the mitrix is also a big funny joke! 
> There is one piece landed on the concrete road of Yehong village,and made
