[meteorite-list] DOCUMENTED people being hit - Listeners Correct Auctioneer About Meteorite History

[Michael Blood]

"Documented" is an interesting concept:
I know of 3 off the top of my head I have
No doubts about:

A medical Dr., etc.
2) Mbali - a boy struck in the arm after a very
Small meteorite pierced a bananna tree slowing
It down.
3) L'Aigle - A carriageman struck
