April 11, 1925: The Bleckenstad Pseudometeorite
1925 The Bleckenstad Pseudometeorite: A ball of limestone was seen to fall to the ground near Bleckenstad, Sweden, and broke apart on impact. A geologist named Dr Assar Hadding (1886 - 1962), of Lund University, identified marine shells and a trilobite-like animal within the mysterious object, which he reported in 1939. Or, so it is said.I believe the original source of this unlikely 'fact', which pops up time and again on the Internet, might be John Mitchell and Robert Rickard, Phenomena: A Book of Wonders p.17.
