British Man Hit By Meteorite

Following on from the German lad who was struck last year, in England a cricket fan was hit in the chest by a fragment of a meteorite. Sussex man Jan Marszel saw the meteorite approaching as he drank beer watching Sussex against Middlesex in a county cricket match. The meteorite missed him, but broke in two when it crashed into the ground, with one piece bouncing up and striking him in the chest. Could there be an increase in small meteorites? The most recent example of an injury, prior to Gerrit Blank last year, was back in 1954.

We were digging foundation for our antenna tower, and found a strange LARGE egg shaped “stone”..?? weighs over 100 pounds… with outter shell.. we cracked most of the outter shell off while trying to break it apart with a sledge-hammer.
It will attract a magnet, and has outter shell that appears the color of rust, or iron with granite or black & white speckled inside. It is NOT a geode!
Our question, who can we contact, and send photos to, to get an opinion of what it migh be?
That is a great discovery. I would do research on the falling of ‘stone’ like objects from the sky. That when broken open were hollow and contained quartz. Scientists stated that it was not “true meteorite material” yet no research has been done. I think you should find someone that works outside the confines of accepted science.
