Yeah, I can't even get on it.

lol, some poor soul is now wondering why his Meteorite ID chart is being flooded with traffic! 141.101.98.59 12:08, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

I'd like to see some analysis of the linked flowchart, or a least an explanation of the title text comment. Why does "Did you see it fall" have only an "yes" option, that leads to "not a meteorite" Zeimusu (talk) 12:10, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm wondering if this is related to the recent claims in British newspapers (Warning, Daily Mail content Link 141.101.98.83 12:27, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Here's the chart hosted externally: http://imgur.com/a/AzQOk Also, could somebody explain the mouseover text? Why does it falling from the sky mean it's not a meteorite?

Where did the 'there have only been 690 confirmed cases since 1900' factoid come from? Wikipedia says there are over 38,000 well documented finds, referring to a 2011 source. 108.162.250.161 13:03, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
