Hi All,
Here is a "resend" of a post that I sent to the List on June 24th (but it never appeared in the Archives):

Hello All,

Just got notified by the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh that they've examined
the "impactor" and they have determined that it is composed of 
"artificial materials".  That is all the information that I have at this
time.  For sure, the owner of the building (and their insurance 
company), as well as the museum are disappointed in this outcome.  
I wonder if the insurance company will require a "report of vandalism" be filed with the police and/or FAA? 

Bob V.

Be it remembered that "mesosiderites" tend to be frequently 
"slag-looking".  This is a hard call in that there are no signs of being
a fresh fall--that is, it looks to have weathered features.  
How-some-ever the hole looks like an impact hole--yet again it seems too
perfectly round and doesn't match the alleged meteorite.

Me thinks this could be a meteor-wrong prank.
