what country is this from? also any pictures?

How do the uniformitarians explain this? "Stones cannot fall from the sky because there are no stones in the sky!" -- Antoine L. Lavoisier, chemist, 1790 Antoine has a point

I'm sure he'll be telling that story in bars when he is older. Maybe he can use it to make some money as well.

nah. nonsense. unless they base a book about him, and have a trade mark of the scar on his hand like harry potter's scar on his forehead. Ok let's see...Dr Alien .........Most of us know that people will pay big bucks... up to $40000 for a peice of meteorite....so who's to say someone has not already made him an offer? the stuff is seen like gold think about it LOL
