TKW 23 MT. Observed fall 12 February 1947, Primorskiy kray, Russia.

Paul writes:
Having failed at taking a decent video I took a series of still shots, rotating the meteorite between each one. I took all the pictures free-hand instead of using a tripod so there is some variance in the viewing angle and the distance between the camera and the meteorite. In other words, it could have been better with a little planning but it passes the test for eye-candy :)
