Meteor ??
 Part of channel(s): Liveleakers (promoted)

Went fishing on lake Erie with two of my grandsons. One of them saw what appeared to be a marine flare or what I though was a parachute flare decending from the sky. Then I noticed a small trail and it was incoming. We heard what sounded like bullets entering the water, if you know the sound, and my grandson said he saw rock and sand fly about 25 yards from where we were. We went to the area and saw what looked like impct marks and dug down. Found 4 pieces that were unlike anything else there. Heavy in weight, almost black in color and pockmarks on some. The larger one weighed almost 1200 grams and is smaller then a golf ball. It will attract a magnet if put near it. I am no expert by any means and wonder if this was from meteor fragments? Not sure of the picture quallity from preview though. Threw in a fossil we found also. ;)
