on the acceptance of meteorites into scientific thinking : "If anyone were so credulous as to suggest that stones had fallen from the sky, he was reasoned with thus: In the first place, there are no stones in the sky; Therefore no stones can fall from the sky." "Even when meteorites were taken on board as being a genuine scientific phenomena, it was decreed that only objects of "True Meteoric Material" were meteorites, and that other material that fell had not come from space, but could be explained in the same fashion as meteorites had once been" --Charles Fort (first quote)
