Reports Report 6984a (Event 6984-2019)

Observer
Name William P
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I think it was about the size of a tennis ball as I've recovered about 99% of it. The shards are Farris. It's harder than diamond. I sanded a window and found carbonaceous chondrite in a sea of black and dark purple so I sent samples to a good lab in Massachusetts for authentication.
