I heard it last night, thought nothing of it. Till I went into my backyard to gaze at its neglect. When I see this fucking crater, and it was indeed fucking. I'm sure it was condoling with the rock.

Anyways, here's some pictures:
The crater is 11.6 inches deep and about 5 feet wide.
28.8 cm and 1.8 meters for the Brits.

If you question the size of the crater, its because this is tough clay soil. Bullets have a hard time penetrating it without bouncing off.




Its also magnetic, which is awesome. Also, if I get cancer from the radiation. BuDSpOoNce, I'm sorry I'm straight. It would never work out.

Comparison:



Its about 2 pounds in weight.

No, the crater isn't going to be 100 meters wide and 50 into the ground. Here's a story to prove it.

makes it really plausible that it is actually a meteorite.
This car has been hit by a meteorite:


Not that much damage.

METEORITES ARE FUCKING AWESOME.

"I'm real dammit, shut up!"

I'm getting it tested at a university ASAP. So if you think its fake, keep it to yourself. If its fake, I'll say so. If not, score. I'm selling it.

Also, I'm going to keep it in Plexiglas and sell it when I really need the money. Right now, I'm content.

Sell it, lucky it didn't land on your house, even though this is probably another fake attention whore thread, there are so many now :(

Also on the news a meteor that burned up and was small when it hit, went through the persons house and left a small crater.
