Allan,

Thanks for your concern. I have felt that you have been open and honest with me since the very beginning. I am the only one who found this rock and so I have a different perspective on it than others who obviously can't "know" what I know about finding it. All I have asked from the beginning is an honest look at the rock. I am worried because the rock is now falling apart since I began taking samples. I keep the rock in a safety deposit box and went there a couple days ago to take pictures for a magazine story. There is over a tablespoon of sand that has fallen out of the rock just sitting there in the safety deposit box. I never knew there was sand in the rock until I took the first sample because all the sand of the outer vesicles was removed when the rock came through the atmosphere. The outer walls are much thicker than the inner walls since they have been melted. But the inner walls are very delicate and can be broken with a finger nail. I may not be a geologist, but all my life I have watched the effects of water and weather on many types of rocks and I can assure you that this rock has not been in a single rain storm and that it would be dust after spending 13 million years on the surface (or under the surface) of our planet. I believe that this rock represents one of the most important rocks ever found and all I want is people with the proper training and the proper equipment to look at this rock and see what it can tell us. The discovery, for certain, that life exists on another planet is sure to change the way that man views himself and the cosmos he lives in. Please help all you can to determine the truth. I have proposed a model of how the rock came to be and will post it on my web site sometime this weekend. Thank you for your help. All I want is to find the truth.

Your friend,
