There are many recorded cases in which careful search has failed to turn up fragments of a meteorite whose fireball has been seen by a number of witnesses. In other cases, analyses of stones which do not fit the description of known types of meteorites have revealed space histories. It is suggested that many meteorites might escape notice because of their unusual appearance. Since 1969, more than 1000 stones, of which at least 90% have been identified as some kind of meteorite, have been collected from the glacial ice in the region of the Yamato Mountains in Antarctica, an area where the presence of terrestrial stones is unlikely. It is urged that a careful study of the remaining 10% of these stones be conducted, and that photographic documentation of any stones which are found to have space histories be widely circulated to aid in the identification of meteorites whose appearance does not conform with that expected.
