Quotations
Strange Rocks"Even though it is filled with small holes, and weighs a good deal, it floats. We found this out when we decided to wash it and clean it up from its normal place as a bookend. Not that it sits on top of the water or anything, but it will not sink to the bottom.""Actually, I think it is the size of my little brothers brain." "The size of the rock is a little bigger than a Hellmans mayonnaise jar." "t is about the size of a can of unopened vegetables." "It weighs around 22 lbs. and is the size of a football. A compass reacts quite strangely around it." "it comes to a dull point as if it was worn back when entering the atmosphere no sharp edges wat so ever except for the obvious broken piece about 3 lbs, and could easily crack my little brothers head" "My grandma said her little boston bull dog would go over and lick it alot so one day my grandma tried it and said it was salty." "I'm sorry but my rock does not look anything like any of those. I've seen those kinds of rocks before and mine doesn't look anything like it." "She showed me the rock, it looked like a small mountain with white rock melted down from a peak." "I found a rock that is very porous, and when I picked it up it left a little bit of ash behind on my fingers…" "we had done some land scaping and i had found this rock it was the only thing i could salvage the outer part was falling apart when i had tryed to pick it up from the ground the outer shell was real dark almost like burnt charchole, it smelled bad that it was like a mildew smell when i first dug it i threw that away cause i got sick from the smell.it gave me flu syptoms when ever i would be in the same room it was like i was high after being around it for not more then 10 minutes." "To tell you the truth its the same shape as an egg exactly." "This treasure was found many years ago on a high elevation just north of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, buried three feet deep in a bed of clay; is about 6 feet in length and 3 feet in width (at widest section); is very dense and heavy; has a certain ring to it when struck with a hammer; does attract a magnet; and weighs one and a half ton!" "I decided to take two x-rays at 150 thousand volts revealing a round white mass in the center with two opposing white lines in the form of "lol". When the rock rotated 45 degrees revealed a solid white top with no lines. When cut in half and 35 mm photos taken by a Pathologist and burned onto CD an enlarged area revealed small yellow, red, orange, gray specks set in a darn area. When viewed by a lecturer and meteorite collector he found using a special magnet that the center of the rock was magntic with possible chondrules. My question is with this vague information who is best to examine this rock if it should even be examined?" "My rock i found is extremly magnetive.. my wife was moeing the lawn and it broke the blade. it is sooo cool. it is not like any magnet i have seen. are rocks magnetic. this thing is so cool. it is not like a magnet, probally an engine part or somthing but it sure can pull. this thing is asome. i can send you a picture of it. this thing was on my property so it will always be mine" "PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS ROCK. THIS ROCK KILLS INSECTS AND THAT IS A FACT. I CAN TEST THIS ANY TIME AND GET THE SAME RESULTS. THE BIGGER THE INSECT, THE SLOWER IT WILL DIE." "Hi, Here are some pictures of rocks in my collection I would like to have tested, authenticated, and classified, Please check out the pictures, and let me know if you can be of any help to me." [He sent 80 photos!] "Worse i think it could be a paranoid delusion of mine after seeing a shower on Ch 7's news round that season, or worse yet it's just a formation from the bottom of a heating drum used buy workers but not likely I've seen those, very porous, I even know how to make some highly porous unstable ones with lots of beer cans and some foam from those discarded portable iceboxes };-) but this Little fist sized Feller is a keeper , maybe I'll take it to NYM of NH someday & have it analyzed but if i have to deface it or alter it to get it certified then forget it it's so darn cute & interesting sitting in a beaker i just won't venture it,, It'll be a mystery i guess.One of the Court Officers nearby said " Yeap that's the real deal " but what does he know };-o" " I think i have found the meteor that coused the crater in Arizona . I have not told anyone but you,will you help me prove it, this could be big ." "It is not uniform. It has some smooth spots but it has bulbs of smooth parts and rough parts in between. The most percular quality it posesses is when you drop water on it, it almost looks like the water is boiling off of it. The water "bubbles" up and roll off of it." "my cousin and brother and compony found a big black chunk of rock a bit bigger then a basket ball and weighs about a pound c. pieces of it are broken off and one pice i have looks like a dried up desert its pretty weird what ever it is. found in ontario canada about 5 years ago. i can send a pic later dont have digital camera looks almost like ashphalt drined up and burnt like crackin on th e out side... " "It could be the mitic "Kriptonite" and deserves its place in my show case, above a glittering Shergottite" "My 13-year-old son placed it on our concrete patio, and smacked it hard with my 20-oz hammer; it didn't even scratch it. I think it's solid iron-nickel. I think it fell last week when we had about 2" of rain in an hour." "The stone has the unusual form of an artillery shell. It has a cone, reminding a cone of a rocket." "We believe what has been discovered ... is an alien time capsule from another world, dimension, etc., ejected into space in search of extraterrestrial life forms from where ever it was launched from, finding its way to earth in the same way and manner that meteorite falls and finds, from other planets, moons, asteroids, comets, find their way to Earth. Now if you think this is bizarre..." "I know this is going to sound a little unorthodox, as for explanations go, but what if photo 83 of your meteor-wrongs gallery is actually some sort of ancient preserved fungus, like a mushroom. Look at it closely... What do you think?" "This stone was not where I found it the day before. My girlfriend thinks that it came out of a bar-b-que grill. " "We found a rock on our yard that does not look like a normal rock. We think it might be a meteorite." "So far the only thing that I know about it for sure is that it is heavy and even through the many coats of paint you can hang refrigerator magnets on it." "I broke off a fresh sample of this rock and studied it under my microscope and found a soft cocoon like structure which has several veins running thru this rock attached to the elements and minerals inside the rock and has formed a life like body with a head with 2 eyes,nose mouth, arms and legs, (quite interesting) so I decided to touch the veins softly with a needle tip to see if it would respond to being touched, Yes it did the veins and life like body jumped around for a breif moment and actually made me jump at the same time, I'm not used to seeing this kind of movement,veins and body like structures inside a rock specimen like it was living inside this rock. Let me know your thoughts." "Found this in Hog lot where pigs had rooted it up no other rocks around...It is very very heavy" "...recently we recovered 3 objects that we watched enter and crash.I do not have picture however here is my best desription:extremely heavy-heavier than lead ,the inside is porous looking ,encrusted with extremely hard ,gold (very irredecent) matalic 'crystals' that easily will etch glass." "I think I know what the flat u say rocks they are terradactal beaks . I have found alot of dinosaurson my property & found alot of flying terradactals:They look just like this one & noticed u have more that look like that ! You have to remember alot of fossils turnto or look like rocks; I have found several meteorites 1 is BIG & has very large thumbprints ! It is metal you will plainly see just by looking at it high knickel also ! I also have found alot of stoney metiorites with diamonds .I live inland linning up exactly southwest & am in a metiorite fall out zone ! it looks like they had some unreal showers sometime ago 1 I have found the stoney ones thanks to you & your information on here !I have 2 with diamonds 1 I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GOLD SO I AM OBSERVANT NOW I look for both !I have about 12 total so far & really havent looked hard . Things come to me I have a huge magnetic field in my back yard exactly southwest due to quartz veins under pressure under the overburden there is also gold to & alot !ever since I dug the back up to put sprinklers in & hit indian & dino stuff I have become clairvoyant ITS unreal I tell you You will be seeing this soon on the world news because I have found things that will change the way the history books have been written! I dont ask for these things they just come to me all the time . the metal metiorite has given me the power to harness my .E. T. abilities & control them! did i tell you IGO CA. is the fossil capital of the world ! Oh by the way I can find gold without really trying I will be sending pictures later You are going to be amazed !" "They have never before found any Lunar or Martian meteorites with visible gases." "I desire to inform you about some particular on the meteorite Martian: it contains numerous small diamonds and amazing thing indeed that have discovered this night, I have waked myself and with the lens from 30x I have observed the meteorite, from a dark point it transuded a liquid as water a few gelatinous, I have shifted her with the finger and she has left a wake of dampness on the stone. This on the cut side, while from the other part, turning the angle of 90° I have observed a groove as a small brook in which was the same liquid and the most mysterious thing of everybody it is that after having it silver ware in the container and resumption to observe again, the groove and the liquid they had disappeared. Indeed I don't joke, and I don't have hallucinations, they are with the well planted feet to earth." "It's very magnetic and I think it could just be a peace of someone's motorcycle except for the fact that it looks like something from the museum of natural history in NY." "The real interesting part about this rock is it has two faces....One side it's an old man and the other side it's a animal(cat?) face and they are very clear and not man made." "Hematite - I guess makes sense. I might put it on e-bay anyway, as a particularly loveable rock - I even read an article on hematite's 'healing powers'!" "I'm looking around for one meteor that has evidence of sea life from another planet." "I was 'spring cleaning' and found these 'junk rocks' in my backyard, I think, they are from another planet - but I'm usually wrong." "Hi, my friends told me this is a meteorite but i'm not dumb. it's about as big as my basketball and it's the strangest looking damn' thang i've ever saw in my life. i found it playing hoops outside of st. louis not long ago. what do i do if my friends are right? it's some joke my friends are playing on me but what if they're not, will this thing,, make me sick? I' ams a bit afraid of this rock. it's got fusion stuff too and it's heavy. maybe, i can bring it down to where you scientists are working, after, I get dones working at the Bbq later today." "HEAVY, CRISTLE STRUCTURE, HAIRRY LOOK IN SIDE, SHINY COAT ON ONE SIDE, MAGNETIC, SMALL HOLES OR TUNNELS GOING THROUGH BACK SIDE, AND SHARP EDGES." "it is very cold during any time of the day, it makes my hand/arm start feeling weird after holding it for aw hile" "Hardness >6 checked with a pencil No 6H" "The only (motorized) people who were coming to this area were foreign armies. Many armies were here. Italian, Austrian, German...etc.I s it likely that some soldier brought those rocks from somewhere?" "My wife is telling me to "throw these things away" but I'm arguing back that "they could be meteoric." She doesn't know much about rocks not too many women do but who am I to judge." "It's not magnetic. It looks a little like melted plastic or rubber, it's soft and warm and smooth like skin. It warms fast when you hold it. I got no clue. I've always wondered about this damn rock..." "P.S. If you hold it to long it makes your fingers hurt, sort of?" "I found this rock in all places, my 14 week old puppy's mouth! At first it looked like a baby potato but then I noticed that she was having trouble carrying it." "Doesn't seem radioactive because it doesn't affect a transistor radio." |
