Hello Dear MPOD Viewers. I am Loof Lirpa, Professor Lirpa's daughter and research assistant. My father is deeply appreciative of your warm reception. So often his research is ridiculed by ignoramuses and philistines. His only regret is he cannot offer slices of this amazing meteorite because it cannot be cut - it is harder than any previously known material. Still, the geniuses and intellectuals attracted by the MPOD make his heart soar and he promises to contribute again. He is not sure when but surely by April 1, 2017.

I believe Professor Lirpa is the guy who found that odd "Chelyabinsk" I got a few years ago! He is very good at finding truly unusual meteorites. :-))

If only I could find one like that! Wait, I think I have! I misidentified it and put it in the bucket of wrongs, be right back..

Wonderful! You started my day with a chuckle. Are you certain that is not actually a dinosaur footprint?

Wow, very impressive crater structure indeed. Showing clearly what happens when an extraterrestrial object hits earth with over-light-velocity. It's a great relief to know we have unfrightened experts and, yes, heroes, who know how to be at the right place in the right moment, ready to collect the aggressor. My deep respect, Professor!

What a stunning recovery! I hope Dr. Lipra has tested the specimen for radioactivity, extraterrestrial pathogens and such stuff before recovery...?
