Quoting Edwin Thompson <etmeteorites at hotmail.com>:

The story we were told back in 92 was that the solders broke up the 
stones because they were told there might be silver and gold in the 
stones from the sky.


Greetings Edwin and list,

If I remember right, in my Sky and Telescope article that I read back 
then, it was also thought to be a cure for AIDS, which resulted in 
breaking up specimens (pulverized)to be used as a cure.
