[meteorite-list] Norwegian skydiver nearly struck by meteorite

[rickmont at earthlink.net]

Pretty good production work (I saw Star Wars one time, and thoroughly 
enjoyed the epic award-winning animation "Bolt" (you've all gotta see 
it...its great!)...yet soooo many posts I'm not going to wade through them 
all.

Meteorite in the room question (which probably has already been posted): 
what happened to the stone?  If I'm Mr. Skydiver Guy, I'd follow it.

Just sayin'

The internet is filled with production quality fake videos and stunts. 
Anyone with a $2000 Mac and a go-pro and some editing software can work 
magic these days.
Why is this one any more believable than the kid who said he had his head 
cut by a meteorite?
The news eats this crap up as fast as it can, yet when real meteorites fall, 
usually zero interest.
