| Name | Ven M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | In the fall of 2014, I watched a similar meteor fall and two weeks later, the son of the man who saw the meteor strike told me that his father watched a meteor fall. I tested him by asking him when it happened and he told me the time and date that I watched the meteor. He then traded it to me as it meant nothing to his father. I have the meteorite in my possession and I am trying to find out how to cut it because it is solid metal. I then want to dip it in nitric acid to reveal the crystal pattern. |
