[meteorite-list] Meteorite Fall Over Eastern Turkish Village: Poor Villagers Make Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars After Black Stones From Space Rain Down

[Michael Farmer]

And who do you think paid them that 
money? By the way, I'm almost sold out. As usual the people who don't have it are poo-pooing it. Anyone who tries to act like this howardite fall is lame, one of a handful ever and first one ever where small perfect complete oriented stones are available to all. Anyone pretending this magnificent fall is anything less is just delusional, uneducated, or jealous.
