| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Alberto |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I kept in mind the direction of flight the light traveled and it went west towards the beaches. so on 4/15/2012 I went to the beach and found something that looked like a chunk of coal after picking it up, it was heavy, after dropping it several times on another rock, until it split. I searched Google for meteorites and the first test was with a magnet,so I took it home and tested it and the whole piece was attracted to a magnet.it might be a fresh fusion crusted meteorite. i HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.\"could it be same one? \" |
