The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Since nobody got hurt, this turns out to be a very cool thing. I wonder
if they get to keep the meteorite or if the government will take it away.

If they get to keep it, at least they can sell it and use the money to pay
for the roof..

And less they got house insurance, I bet the insurance people didn't see
that coming. lol

There's an annoyed post on sci.astro from Darren Garrison
about the fact that some
self-proclaimed "expert" suggested they dry it out in an oven :-)

There is talk of £6000 as the going rate for it.

I'll bet the insurance contract doesn't cover "acts of god."

It's a stone type, nice specimen too, great fusion crust. It will fetch
MUCH more than $6,000 too. Hope it hits the market eventually but I
believe only one was found so far, there could be others nearby as well.
