METEORITES FOR SALE

Around 10:38 A.M. in the Sikhote-Alin mountains of eastern Siberia, people witnessed the largest single meteorite fall ever recorded. A huge roar was heard sending thousands of meteorite fragments onto the frozen ground. A shower of fireballs fell in thick forest in the Sikhote-Alin mountains,25 miles from Novopoltavka, Maritime Province, producing 106 impact holes, the largest 28 meters across, over an area 100 x 660 meters, and many fragments, up to 300 kg in weight, totaling over 27000kg, were found scattered inside and outside the holes. The shockwave from the explosion was felt hundreds of miles away. A dark funnel-shaped smoke was visible in the sky. The largest single mass was recovered weight 1745kg and has an oriented shield-like shape. Oriented regmaglypted individual and Shrapnel type fragments were found.
