[meteorite-list] Florida boy

[Deborah Anne K. Martin]

Hello all,

Last November (circa the 27th, I believe), a father in Florida claimed his young son was hit on the head by a meteorite and got 3 stitches as a result.

Does anyone know if whatever struck the boy was actually a meteorite ? I tend to be extremely skeptical about these types of stories (such as Gerrit Blank who claimed he was hit on the arm in 2009 and it turned out to be a hoax).

Thank you
