This book provides a showcase for the incredibly well-preserved
flight-textured tektites of southern Australia, which are the
world's finest known examples. It provides an overview of their
forms and flight features, which can be expected to appear, at
least in part, on any objects falling from space. Some of these
specimens are so perfectly shaped that it is hard to believe that
they have been buried in the recent strata of Australia for 770,000
years. It also discusses the history of the story of their
incredible flight into space and return becoming widely accepted,
which led to them being recognized as space travelers. Further, it
describes their classical shapes and offers an explanation of how
each developed. It provides collectors, meteoriticists, and museum
curators with insights into the astounding forms of Australian
tektites produced by hypersonic flight.
