[meteorite-list] Man claims to find meteor

[Guenther]

I agree with Rob,

I immediately thought that someone probably emptied a barbeque grill and
those are lava rocks. A relative of mine witnessed an extremely bright fall
last year and she swore that she saw it fall beside the road in a field.
After getting the news reports, it turned out that it fell several hundred
miles away. The impact is always further away than the witness thinks. So,
it would be extremely unlikely if he had actually found it where he thought
it fell.

Hi Thomas,

This fall could not have occurred anywhere near Exeter, so whatever he
found, they aren't meteorites from that fall. I suspect they aren't
meteorites at all.  --Rob
