Meteorite fall in Alabama 30 years ago observed by observer
In November 1869 I stood near Shelby county Alabama when a sharp whizzing sound crossed the sky and a heavy explosion followed. I inferred the meteorite landed nearly north toward the Tennessee River, while Prof Lynch claimed a 1867 or 1869 fall and a southward movement. I urge geologists to collect all evidence about the event for science.

The diplomatic corps faces a reshuffle that could bring a junior countess to prominence, while Mrs. Stewart’s death leaves a social power vacuum in Stewart Castle’s aging circle.
