[meteorite-list] small fireball report
About 7 p.m. (shortly after dusk) my husband and I went out to try to see Comet Ikeya-Zhang. NO luck; we've been having precipitation off and on for the past 48 hours, but we did see a very bright meteor. It stayed up almost directly overhead for about 30 seconds, like a parachute flare but not drifting, before slowly dimming and going out. Unfortunately, almost directly overhead will probably put it in the Molokai Channel, rather than anyplace near me, if it survived at all :-/ Tracy Latimer __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hi, List, The almost entire main mass of the car-killer (sorry, there was no dog in the car) lives in the Field Museum in Chicago. The whereabouts of the car is unknown. Sterling K. Webb Sterling, and group: Parts of the car (the perforated roof, the dented muffler and the seat cushion where the meteorite was ultimately found) are still on display at the Field Museum -- along with the holed portion of the garage roof. In another interesting display, there are pieces of damaged roofing and a twisted rain gutter from a house impact, although the locality of that fall escapes me for the moment.

Hi David, I would venture that there area about 19 pallasites available to collectors. My guess would go up to 20 when you get another one. But seriously, if you posted your list to the List, others could supplement it if possible. That might give you your answer.

Re: [meteorite-list] New Fall ?
Here is a rough english translation of that article: Lightnings in the sky came from meteorites The phenomenon of Saturday night was released of fausstgrossen meteorites, which with approximately 200,000 kilometers per hour the atmosphere occurred. The population became at the night Sunday in Bavaria a witness of a ausserordentlich rare Spektakels.. Humans could along-pursue the glowing impact meteorites big as a fist into the atmosphere over South Bavaria. The stone from the ALL occurred over Wendelstein Upper Bavaria with a rate of approximately 200,000 kilometers per hour the terrestrial atmosphere and into 80 kilometers height a glowing course direction Allgaeu pulled, described the director/conductor of the residents of Munich people observatory, Peter Staettmayer. Lighting up came by atmospheric effects to status. It lasted against 22.20 o'clock about four to six seconds. Five to the sonic boom meteorites than hearing thunders was six minutes later. Staettmayer: Das light one saw practically immediately, the bang came so late, since the sonic boom needed three seconds per kilometer, until it had arrived at the place of the appearance. In the Upper Bavarian Zolling in the district freesing wants a woman the impact of a meteorite section into its garden to have observed. Scientists of the German center for air and space travel (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen documented the appearance (dpa) According to specification of her father-in-law the woman wanted to bring even their small daughter to bed, as her an optical phenomenon like a Silvesterstern. into its garden to land saw. It thought, a joke to neighbours would have taken the liberty, and would have continued to worry not about the affair. When it experienced on Sunday over radio of the mysterioesen Lichtspektakel, it checked in the garden and found palm-large cinder breaking into. Together with their father-in-law she transferred the piece to the police. Speculation over space garbage Hours later geology professor Klaus weber Diefenbach of the residents of Munich Ludwig Maximilians university announced itself and explained, to the piece of find concerns themselves it with large probability around five billion years old meteorites out of the universe. Staettmayer explained against it, he was very sceptical whether it concerns a section out of the current impact, since the calculated course did not lead across the messuage in Zolling. First upon a connection with announcement of NASA upon the forthcoming crash of space garbage one had speculated. That excluded the US space agency and property here however. The meteor had let the telephones run in the night at the police stations hot: Hundreds anxious citizens reported of sharp flashes, which were shot over the sky with unbelievable speed. Observations until Frankfurt The mysterioesen night lights would have pulled spark tails behind itself and would partly day-brightly have illuminated the sky. Some callers reported besides a longer Donnergrollen and loud explosion noises. The emphasis of the puzzling flashes was over South Bavaria: According to police specification struck procured citizens from approximately 22 o'clock up to the Sunday morning in Upper Bavaria, Swabia and the Upper Palatinate, in addition, in Franconia alarm. However in Munich several 100 callings of anxious citizens were received. Also outside of the Free State the lights provided for excitement: In Frankfurt space, in upper Austria and even in the cathedral country removed far anxious callers announced themselves.

Re: [meteorite-list] Hamlet
Hi Dave, The Nobelsville meteorite is really a nice stone. Well, was anyway. The kids that found it sold it. Then, of course, it was sliced up like a loaf of bread. Well actually more like a muffin since it was not very large. Here is a link to a picture of it as a whole stone. http://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/outreach1/expmetmys/slideset/NoblesvilleMet.JPG And here is a link to a pic of the two boys who almost lost their heads to the cosmic stone: http://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/outreach1/expmetmys/slideset/NoblesvilleFall.jpg Regarding your Hamlet, It does not appear much like any Hamlet I have seen, but rather more like the LL4s coming out of the Sahara et. al. Any chance there was a mix-up somewhere in the packaging? Or could you piece of Hamlet have been found years after the fall?

Re: [meteorite-list] Pallasite availability
Hi Bernd, Nor does the list include the new pallasite recovered recently in Missouri. For more on that one, stay tuned for the next issue of Meteorite.

[meteorite-list] Bolides tracked to ground
Hi List Members, inspired from the bolide over Bavaria, I have asked myself which meteorites have been recovered due to the observation of the corresponding bolide. I personally think to remember Lost City, but I am not sure. It looks like a possible meteorite could have fallen in the northern Alps (sonic booms were heard in this area), but the area is VERY rugged.

[meteorite-list] post scriptum to: 3 fireballs
Post scriptum; The time for the Bayern event (~ 20:30 UTC) will probably be quite right, as will be for the Dutch-Belgian event which has independant confirmations (both the Belgian VVS observers and the Dutch coastguard noted 2:28-2:30 MEST= 0:28-0:30 UTC for the latter event). Nick, are you certain of your 3:45 UTC, which would make your Scottish fireball a third separate event?

[meteorite-list] Re: Meteorite Pronunciation
Thanks for the correction, Mark. I've been researching Benld on the ground, so to speak. I've been to the newspaper office (same newspaper forever) and seen the original article reporting the fall, a surprizingly intelligent article, but short. The paper was a weekly published on Friday and the fall was discovered on Thursday morning. Nevertheless, they got the story into a box on the front page. I searched subsequent issues for followup stories (like Museum Buys Meteorite or whatever) but have not found any. Interestingly enough, local memory of the fall is very weak. The managing editor of the newspaper donated pamphlets and publications about the fall to the local library for a display some years ago, but all that material has disappeared, or to be more precise, cannot presently be located, to the annoyance of the editor (and me). Before I quit running over there for the winter, I had yet to locate the precise location of the garage. I need to do followup with the 70+ age-group. My theory of the fall is that the combination of near-verticality of path and high penetration ability indicates a high-altitude stagnation point. That is, in order to fall vertically the stone must have had its horizontal velocity reduced to a very slow speed. But to penetrate roof and car, etc. it must have been falling with a 100-300 mph speed. The object must have re-acquired some velocity in the fall. A nearly vertical fall as the original trajectory seems unlikely for several reasons. Since such a high percentage of falls are multiples, I wondered what would have happened to other stones had there been any. The area where the house and garage stood was an addition to the town, what we would call a subdivision today. It was created by filling a brick pit with clay and trash from a demolished brickworks in the 1920's. Had there been other stones falling with the same velocity as the car-penetrator, they would have just punctured grassy areas, burying themselves in the clay fill, leaving hardly a mark and would likely never have been noticed in the fuss over the car. The velocity is too low to produce even micro-craters and the soil fill too soft to resist penetration. My theory of a possibility, anyway... Sterling K.

In another interesting display, there are pieces of damaged roofing and a twisted rain gutter from a house impact, although the locality of that fall escapes me for the moment.
