NORAD is saying they think the unidentified object was a meteor but they have yet to confirm their findings. ABC 4's Andrew Stack has been close on the tail of this meteor all day and has more. Thursday morning, a soldier on the firing range at Camp Williams looked up to see a blinding flash, and then a long con trail. It was a tail many others would see over the next few minutes. All of a sudden, my eyes saw something fantastic, describes one. NORAD right now is researching all their records, explains another. Around 10:30 Thursday morning, some caught a glimpse of a bright, white light. I thought, you know, I'm sitting out here taking UFO pictures, says Brad Gygi, an eyewitness. At the present time, they figure this is the high time of the season for meteor showers and that's what one of the suggestions has been, but right now, it is undetermined to exactly what it is, says one. First it flew over Camp Williams. ...saw an airplane going over and then he saw a white trail that appeared to be coming from the south about two o'clock and heading to the north at about eight o'clock, describes LTC Rick West, Camp Williams Training Site. Then it was seen over downtown Salt Lake. It looked like it was heading for downtown Bountiful, says Richard Law, another eyewitness. But it never made it that far. Naturally, with the war going on, I thought, 'oh, oh, what do we got here?' And then I recognized it immediately as a comet or a meteor because of its shape and the way it was going and then when it exploded and just disappeared, I figured it just burned out in the atmoshpere. I was lucky to get a couple that did turn out, says Gygi, of his pictures. Brad Gygi was on his way to work and was lucky enough to snap a few photos before 'it' exploded. It looked really big, a lot bigger than when you see a plane flying across or something and it was pretty bright and it looked like a pretty long tail, says Gygi. I just feel like anybody who didn't see it, missed out. It was beautiful. It was just wonderful to see it. The soldier who first saw this meteor reported it through his chain of command because he feared the meteor might hit one of the commuter flights preparing to land at Salt Lake International. As it turns out, air traffic controllers at Salt Lake International took immediate action to ensure safety as soon as they heard about this explosion in the sky. They changed incoming landing approaches for a couple of flights to avoid the area. There were no close calls, all planes landed safely and everything shortly returned to normal. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list Do you Yahoo!?

[meteorite-list] LUNARCHARITY: A Moon Rock for Emanuel!
Dear List members, I want to focuse your attention to a benefit ebay auction in favour of a romanian handicapped boy, who needs urgent our help. Please don't delete the message and take a look on this auction, even when you hate ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=2197271212category=3239rd=1 If the link is not working, because it is to long, just go to www.ebay.com and insert: moon rockin the search field. Sorry, that I violate the policies of this list regarding ebay ads, but I think this case is well worth it. IMPORTANT: The entire proceeds of the auction - not just the profit - will be used directly for this boy, without any deductions and without deviation or mediation by any institution. For I personally will travel to Romania in November. I am frequently in Romania, my romanian girlfriend is working as a teacher there. The situation is getting worse and worse, meanwhile and this is no joke, there are children, who starve. I wrote a little bit about the conditions in Romania in my auction text and I could give many examples and facts about here on this list, but because it is off-topic, you may contact me off list. In principle the misery would be not necessary, but the members of the government, the party, the police, the justice, the bureaucracy enrich themselves and are corrupt in such dimensions, that even the worst african dictator would be ashamed of. I visited countries, which are poorer than Romania, but a country that cheat and betrays his own children and which is so rotten as this one, I never saw. At the moment I have not the financial means to help this boy, so I decided to spend a slice of a new lunar meteorite find, which was thought to be my own collection piece. THE DEAL IS SIMPLE: You get a good sized piece of a rare Moon rock (0.292gm, not a speck!) and the boy will get a wheelchair, a computer for writing and medication. For those, who are quite new to meteorite collecting, there exist an excellent site about lunar meteorites here: http://epsc.wustl.edu/admin/resources/moon_meteorites.html Of course one buys not everyday such a rare meteorite, but it's for a good purpose. It's not published yet, but I can assure of being everything alright with this new find (it's already analysed and anounced to the Meteoritical Society, will get its own Dhofar number in a few weeks, I am an IMCA member, and and and) The finder is a member of this list, So perhaps Norbert you can say some words? The data: Dhofar xxx Provisional Nr. 2001, Fieldnr HC 42 Wadi Quitbit, Dhofar, Oman Find: January 2003 Tkw: 245.46g Impact melt breccia, LUN-A Possibly paired with Dhofar 302, 305, 306, 307 It's a pretty one, very colourfull, has many different clasts and all in all a fresher appearance than most other lunaites! Other contributions are always welcome!!! There are missing the most elementary things and thus even the smallest aid causes big effects. For those, who don't like ebay, but want to participate in that charity auction: It is not necessary to register there, you can tell me the maximum amount, which you are willing to spend for that Moon and I will ask a friend to place the bid for you. His ebay ID is: klaus_hartmann This is also important to know for the others to see that there's no chill bidding. I know that there are many warmhearted and social comitted people here on the list, I already received first donations (I will thank them all, when I give the outcome here on the list), please help, that the charity aution will be a success!

Re: [meteorite-list] nitric acid disposal
Hello All, Thanks to Dave Freeman for the acid disposal idea. Here are a few more ideas. It is very important that you dilute the acid with LOTS of water, a ratio of 10 parts water to 1 part acid might be a good place to start. The more water you use, the better. If you add baking soda to undiluted acid, you will get a near explosive reaction, so MAKE SURE you dilute the acid with enough water. In addition to wearing eye protection, wear rubber gloves, old shoes and old long pants. In the event you spill some of the acid solution, you don't want to ruin your clothes. A rubberized or plastic apron like the ones sold at lapidary stores is a good idea too. Another thing. Don't dump an entire container of the baking soda into your acid solution all at once. Add a little bit at a time to give you an idea of how much the combination will react and expand.

[meteorite-list] Question regarding NWA 1827 paired
Hi list, I wonder if there is new info on the status of the material paired with NWA 1827 (TWK: app. 80kg). The last thing I have heard is that it isnt really classified as metal rich diogenite anymore. Who knows more? Thanks in advance and Kind regards, Bernhard Rendelius Rems CEO RPGDot.com Managing Director RPGDot Network image001.gif
Re: [meteorite-list] nitric acid disposal
Better yet, donate the stuff. It lasts a long time and high schools as well as colleges use nitric acid. Of course, they may not be allowed to accept the acid without proper MSDS sheets or proof that it is not contaminated.

Re: [meteorite-list] nitric acid disposal
I have given this some thought last night and have come up with a better protocaol for Nitric acid disposal. 1) Best to turn fuming nitric acid to nitric acid 5% or less first adding acid to water as we all know. 2) Baking soda or washing soda does fizz alot then that leaves sodium residue which isn't bad down the drain if that is where it's going. 3) Another inexpensive alkali is household ammonia NH4OH. Adding diluted nitric acid to an excess amount of dilute ammonia (carefully as all these reactions are exothermic.) woulld leave you with an ammonium nitrate solution( with ammonia test pH to alkaii )that is commonly used as fertilizer. This can be dumped on the ground around plants. I haven't tried this but it is theoretically sound. Still it is best to use up the acid like for processing gold in black sands. Best idea for the brave: and a little sulfuric acid then pour on sawdust or cotton. Use to make model ofyour own impact crater. Nitric acid will totally gone. Howard Wu Howard WuJohn Gwilliam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All,Thanks to Dave Freeman for the acid disposal idea. Here are a few more ideas.It is very important that you dilute the acid with LOTS of water, a ratio of 10 parts water to 1 part acid might be a good place to start. The more water you use, the better. If you add baking soda to undiluted acid, you will get a near explosive reaction, so MAKE SURE you dilute the acid with enough water. In addition to wearing eye protection, wear rubber gloves, old shoes and old long pants. In the event you spill some of the acid solution, you don't want to ruin your clothes. A rubberized or plastic apron like the ones sold at lapidary stores is a good idea too.Another thing. Don't dump an entire container of the baking soda into your acid solution all at once. Add a little bit at a time to give you an idea of how much the combination will react and expand.Best,John GwiliamAt 01:26 PM 10/17/03 -0600, David Freeman wrote:Dear Harlan, List;One can dilute acids with baking soda.

Our water, as is most water in the western US has hard stuff in it that gets disolved by a little acid now and then.dilute the water with acid, and add baking soda, done deal.

[meteorite-list] Today's meteorite fall anniversary
http://members.aol.com/sharkkb8/candlestickrock.jpg From time to time listees acknowledge meteorite fall anniversaries, and today issuch a date, the14th anniversary of a Californiafall which is largely unknown by most collectors. I narrowly missed being struck by this falling "concrete chondrite", which "fell" in San Francisco's Candlestick Park on October 17, 1989 at 5:03p (earthquake, 7.0 on the Richter Scale), at Game Three of the World Series. I hastily stuck this piece in my pocket (as I ran like hell out from under the stepped-concrete stadium overhang,like everyone around me). Note the specimen's "Certificate of Authenticity" on the right.And no, it wasn't red-hot when I picked it up. ;-) Gregory P.S. At the moment the earthquake struck, Ihonestly DO remember thinking, "Well, if you have to die, it may as well be at the World Series." But while I underwent nothing more serious than afew minutesof terrorand a subsequentbizarre few days "trapped" in a crippled major American city, of course many people lost their lives at that moment, so I don't wishthis list-postto seem TOO light-hearted.
Re: [meteorite-list] Today's meteorite fall anniversary
Gregory, Being a big baseball fan...I was parked about 4 feet from the TV when it all occurred. My most vivid memory was the first scene of the sandwiched highway in Oakland which horrified me in an instance...yet to this day I'll never know why the announcer describing the scene we were looking at that moment said the road looked a bit shaken up, but no major damage was evident. They could not tell the two roads had been stacked on top of each other. A stunning sight. I won't forget it, but I'm sure I/we didn't have the response you experienced.

[meteorite-list] Question about NWA 1827 pairing
Bernhard and others, Owning a piece of 1827, and of one similar (still not sure of it's number), the report I have on 1827 from my supplier is that is was classified as a diogenite rich mesosiderite (and not a metal-rich diogenite...no such thing). And for those who do not own a piece of it...it is a beauty. One piece was cut and sent without a polish, and the other one is polished. Both are awesome. I believe that 1879 will also be paired with it. I know Adam has some knowledge of this possiblity, but the analysis may not be done yet. There may be other numbers involved also...not sure. Hope that helps, John __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Question about NWA 1827 pairing
Hello Everybody, The List sure has been very pleasant lately, a nice change. About NWA 1879, I believe it is paired with NWA 1827 and a few others. Three scientists came to the same conclusion regarding this Mesosiderite. It is believed to be an ultra rare 2C. This is a very confusing situation because at least two other Mesosiderites which are not paired to each other have shown up in the last year and a half. As a matter of fact the scientists are referring to them as The Mess of Mesos and are still trying to figure out TKWs and other pertinent data. At first it was believed there was 80 kilos of NWA 1827 but the real figure is less because several masses where counted twice. This happened because they changed ownership and were reported twice. As more data becomes available we would be happy to update the List.
