Yes, Bernd, some fragments even fell in or close to the cemetery behind the church, and there were a few men there with shovels, so the pieces were picked up quickly.

at first glance this specimen does look earthly, but up close it would be special when examined. the Johnstown howardite meteorite is really beautiful up close!!

If it wasn't for the fusion crust, the thumbprints, and the cut face, it would be hard to recognize this "stone" as a meteorite. Most of you will know Johnstown fell during aa funeral ceremony. One stone even struck near the doors of the church.
