[meteorite-list] Norwegian skydiver nearly struck by meteorite

[Alexander Seidel]

Nothing but an intelligent April Fool - well done! :-)

There´s "a bit tooo much smile" on all the faces, the 
falling stone scene is way too unrealistic, and I believe, 
this is just a brilliant hoax done by people (like Morten) 
with a lot of humour, phantasy and technical skills...

It looks strange that a further skydiver appeared shortly after the stone passed the camera. But I aggree, the statistic argument is not valid, because *every* single event in our life can be calculated extremely improbable, a priori. If nobody wants it to have reproduced, the (a priori) likelyhood of a single event does not say it could have occured.
