Tracy,
I usually offer to sell the individual “meteorites just like theirs”,
from hundreds of pounds, to a few tons, very cheaply, since I have a near
endless supply of the exact, same rocks, and that here in Phoenix, they are
commonly used in landscaping. That is usually the end of it. Try it.😎

Thank you Randy, I think I will keep your response and use it next time I am
asked, if you don't mind.

I send them this link. Doesn't usually help, though.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Not an answer they like
I've been fielding a lot of e-mails this week from someone who is certain that
a meteorite nearly hit their house. The picture they sent me is of what looks
like a weathered lava bomb that likely washed free of an upslope location and
rolled/fell/bounced into his yard. They found it the following day after a
"loud thump that shook the house", then picked it up and hosed it off, so don't
have any pictures of it in situ, just a shallow hole with muddy splash marks.
I've told them several times that it doesn't look like a meteorite: vesicles,
not regmaglypts; no fusion crust, nothing that identifies it as a likely
meteorite, but they don't want to hear it. Anyone who has dealt with a
persistent "meteorite" finder, how did you eventually get them to listen to
reason/experience -- or not?
Best!
Tracy Latimer
