Watched this hit the ground with my naked eye! Of course it was outta' the back of a dump truck...(sorry, couldn't resist).
It was in a load of driveway gravel. About an inch and a half across, heavier than it looks, and sticks hard to a magnet. If not a meteorite would someone be kind enough to suggest what it might be? Picked it up because it was so out of place in the white gravel...Thanks much...(any humor would be welcome as well).:alien:
