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.
