Hi all - My thanks to Bernd, Tonu, and Pierre for their messages on the Kaali impact event, which I passed on to the Cambridge Conference. Thanks!
Early Wednesday morning I saw a nice meteorite entry while driving home, and I hope that some of you will enjoy this short account of it. I had been out playing my bass at a local bar, and was returning home when I noticed a streak in the sky. I was driving towards Culpepper on Virginia State Road 3, just before it meets with State Route 613, so I suppose I could dig up an exact bearing if needed. The time was 3:13 in the morning. Upon seeing the streak, my first thought was that perhaps there had been an accidental launch on Washington DC, as the color was greenish, but I quickly realized that what I was watching was instead a meteorite entry. The angle of fall was from about 1 o'clock to 7 o'clock. At first it appeared that the meteorite flamed out, and then appeared to start to flame again just slight to the west. Upon reflection, I realize now that what I saw was the entry of 2 seperate meteorites, with the first one reaching free fall at a height of about 7 inches up my windshield, and the other appearing to reach free fall at the top of tree line level. While I really don't have the time right now to post a proper fireball report, and though we all know the difficulties involved in triangulation and then search, I would be interested in reading other reports of these entries. all the best, and thanks to all - ep __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
