Jamie,

I have received the first estimation from the KAr test. Mr. Reesman has helped me by just doing the Ar portion of the test on a sample that was within 2 cm of the exterior. That test shows enough Ar for a few tens of millions of years of age. Mr. Reesman says that heating of the exterior could cause the Argon to be driven out of the rock.

In order to get a completely accurate test, I have taken a sample from the interior. I used a piece of 5/8" copper tubing and drove it into the rock. I could easily drive this entirely through the rock if necessary. This shows how delicate this rock is and how unlikely it is that this rock has been on the Earth for anything more than the 25 years that I know about.

A great deal of sand and debris fell out once I removed the sample. I believe this material was there when the rock was created. Every crack and crevice of the rock is filled with this sand and I believe that the rock was created by lava flowing through the sandy material. This would mean that the sand has been in this rock since the rock was created. Any objective viewing of this rock will show that this sand has not been wet since the rock was created. Therefore, we have a rock that is at least a few tens of millions of years old, yet has never been wet since it was formed. I don't know "where on Earth" everyone thinks that I have been keeping this rock for the last few tens of millions of years. I have kept this rock dry for the last 25 years, but I am not responsible for the time before that.

I am sending you this sample so that you may look at it and decide for yourself if the sand that is still stuck to the inner crevices of this sample represents the original sand that molded the shape of the vesicles of this rock. After viewing this internal structure, I can tell you that the sand goes all the way through the rock and that the vast majority of the walls within this rock are paper thin and none of the interior has been weathered since its creation.

This rock could be the most valuable rock that science has ever studied and it is so hard for me to understand why everyone refuses to make scientific tests to determine its true origin. Every claim that I make can be verified, yet no one even tries. I have never asked anyone to believe my opinions, only to make scientific tests to determine the truth, but all I have received today is opinions. I have built my life around integrity and it is hard for me to understand why my claims have not been investigated. There are at least a hundred people who can testify that I found this rock in 1971 and proclaimed it a meteorite from Mars virtually from the first day.

Please spend an hour or two looking at this sample through a small microscope. You tell me if you think it has been wet or not. You tell me if the sand that remains in the vesicles has been there since the rock was formed. Then compare this sample to the other that I gave David and see the melting on the outer surface. Use your own abilities and decide for yourself. It would be so easy for your university to run many tests that would indicate the planet of origin. Please don't let humanity down in this issue. There is so much to be gained and so little to lose.

Your friend,
