Things Falling From the Sky

Numerous cases can be found of strange and odd substances observed to have fallen to the ground. Charles Fort included many such "sky falls" in his writings: things like frogs, fish and rocks.

With the meteors, space debris, and things falling off planes it can be expected that there would be reports of things falling to earth.

In Pennsylvania came a report of something slamming into a back yard. "Slag" was the answer. In another instance the analysis said natural materials. And others have come back with suggestions someone had picked up the wrong rock or had simply misidentified a run of the mill rock for something dropping from the skies.

Sometimes, oops, samples were lost, destroyed by the testing process or otherwise dropped out of sight.  Depending on how you read one file a 21 pound meteor was either totally destroyed by testing or a part of it was and the rest disappeared.
