Re: [meteorite-list] Announcing Meteorite Men the TV Show
Aren´t there online video recorders (a payable service which may be subscribed to via the internet) available in the U.S., who will provide a downloadable copy of the movie for you? Besides that, somebody may provide a copy to Youtube - well, of course, unless any copyright is violated by this action (Geoff? Steve?)! They offer space for only 10 minute clips, but then again, a longer movie could be splitted up into several consecutive parts. In this case, it could also be viewed and commented on by computer users in Europe and elsewhere... Just a thought.

This report is extremely typical of that. I agree...also this guy claims to have seen the meteor splash in the water near a bridge and him. So it was going fast enuf to cause it to appear incandescent upon impact, but he reports not hearing any sonic booms, only a whistling noiseamazing. The point of retardation should be in the neighborhood of 9,000 mph, so this sucker was traveling pretty fast based upon this witness's account. GeoZay **Feeling the pinch at the grocery store?

Re: [meteorite-list] Suffolk man says he saw meteor hit
Well, not a chance isn't very scientific. I should have said a really, really, really small chance. And the chance I'm referring to is that he witnessed an impact. From the description, it sounds like he saw some flaming meteor splash into the water nearby, which just didn't happen. I'd say he saw the meteor disappear below his local horizon, which would have happened when the meteor was still many miles high, and therefore very far from him- more than a hundred miles, maybe a lot more.

Re: [meteorite-list] Suffolk man says he saw meteor hit
There are a few things left out of the report. Duration of the event, distance from his location, angle of decent, speed and azimuth. If the guy witnessed the entire event from beginning to end and the fireball was very far away at first sighting, that explains why he may not have heard the boom. It could be that it reached the retardation point long before coming close to him. The whistling noise reported is also intriguing. The report does NOT state that the ball of fire hit the water. Only that he witnessed a ball of fire. EXCERPT: The shape of it, it was just too perfect to be a piece of junk. It looked just like a miniature comet, pretty much, he said. It was really, really white with blue flames. It was pretty wild. Butler said he didn't hear the boom, only a whistling roar as the object flew past. The wind-blown water was really choppy, he added, but he could see the splash when it landed.. He did give a clue as to the direction of travel although it is extremely vague as he doesn't say which direction he was looking but rather the direction he was traveling (SOUTH). He stated the object was ..coming right at my car.. He could have been looking East or West or in his rear-view mirror for that matter. The point is it's a eye-witness report, and it's interesting enough to investigate further. Even if it does turn out to be nothing.

From the write up, he does mention that it appeared really, really white with blue flames. and also said it looked like a miniature comet.

I agree Darryl, but only if you assume that he saw the fireball hit the water. Which the report does not say.

Re: [meteorite-list] Suffolk man says he saw meteor hit
Okay...below is most of the article about what this guy saw. First of all, the time of sighting was at 9:45 pm Sunday NIGHT. If it wasn't glowing and was in the process of dark flight when it hit the water, he's got one heck of a good eyesight. It would have to be traveling at least a couple hundred miles per hour when it went over his car. At that velocity or more and at night, I doubt I could have picked up on a large object whistling by overhead. I know I wouldn't have been able to see it...particularly while driving a car. Then a meteorite that has yet to land, has a few minutes of dark flight to experience. I'm kinda curious as to how this guy would make the connection of seeing a bright meteor, followed by a few minutes of darkness(which it would have to have during dark flight), to the whistling noise overhead that landed in the water...unless he was claiming it to be incandescent. :O) He also says that he was driving over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge when night turned briefly into day. There it was, coming right at my car. It was so fast that I didn't even have time to think that I might have been in danger. It shot right over my car, it went down in the water right between the two bridges. Well...I'm convinced he's alluding that it was incandescent all the way to the water. So for it to be incandescent to the water, the meteorite would have to be about ten tons plus traveling over 9,000 mph. That must have been one heck of a splash. :O) George Zay Most of the article below: But only one person has said he saw where it landed. Joe Butler of Suffolk says he was driving south across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel when night turned briefly into day. The sky was light all of a sudden, like it was daytime, Butler recalled on Friday. There it was, coming right at my car. It was so fast that I didn't even have time to think that I might have been in danger. It shot right over my car, it went down in the water right between the two bridges. Butler said he was near the tallest part of the bridge, near Fisherman Island, where the northbound and southbound lanes separate widely. The meteor, he said, splashed into the water between them. I was like, what in the world is going on? Butler said. My daughter, she said, 'Wow, what was that, Daddy?' and I said, 'I don't know, babe, I think that was a falling star.' The meteor flashed past Hampton Roads around 9:45 p.m. Sunday, briefly lighting up the landscape. It was followed one to two minutes later by a sonic boom, which experts said meant it had penetrated deep enough into the atmosphere to leave meteorites. **Feeling the pinch at the grocery store?

Re: [meteorite-list] Suffolk man says he saw meteor hit
Not adding an opinion but just about observation consistency. Four points and a question: 1. Once again we are dealing with a reporter--which is a class of individuals that consistently scramble eye-witness interviews. 2. His location was very close to the Doppler echo end track. 3. Owing to how a sonic boom propagates to the side and rear of the hypersonic missile, if you are near dead front of objects path you tend to only get echoes from gound reflections unlsee the object is still super sonic when passing your location --ask any one that has been shot at by a super sonic round. One may hear the bullet thump but don't hear the the sonic signature that nearby folks usually do. Thus the old adage about not hearing the shot that hits you. 4. Whistling, roaring, buzzing, or wap-wap sounds--( unlike those of a sonic boom, bolide, or explosion,) are often reported by observers near where a meteorite drops. How fortunate the tidewaters are warming up and we have some scuba divers on the list. Q: Now this was a retrograde meteor correct? Retrograde is contra earth's rotation and prograde is with the direction of rotation? Simple I know but I am in an argument with myself and need a referee.

[meteorite-list] Oh, The Stories They Tell....
There's a very simple explanation to this story: the guy's lying!!! How do I know? Because they always lie!! Why would you ever assume even for a second that such an outlandish story is true? I work at a small Earth Space Museum with a large collection of meteorites. Every single story I've heard from people witnessing falls have been bogus. At least 10 people in the last year and a half have brought in meteorwrongs that they swear up and down hit their house. One was so hot that it melted the vinyl siding! (It was railroad rock.) One hit the house, went through the roof, bounced around inside awhile, then smashed through the wall and landed outside in the yard. (It was silicon.) Others have hit houses narrowly missing the occupants. (Slag, klinkers and more silicon). 3 or 4 people have been outside and had to duck to avoid getting hit. (Hematite and yet more slag.) Several people have come in with stories of seeing very large meteorites hit the ground, explode, form big craters, etc. Every one of these I've checked out has been a meteorwrong. Often people will bring in non native minerals and swear they found them here in Indiana, or saw them fall from the sky. I just had a chunk of antimony brought in that was supposedly found 30 feet underground! My favorite was an older lady that just finished watching a television show about how meteorites are worth millions of dollars, when suddenly she was startled by the sound of something hitting the side of her house. You guessed it, it was meteorites! 5 of them. (One was railroad rock, 3 pieces of slag, a chunk of asphalt, and a piece of melted plastic.) Under questioning, not one relented, they all stuck to their stories. They seemed to really believe their stories. It's an interesting psychological phenomenon that meteorites (like sex) seem to induce people to tell outrageous stories. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] US States Fed Govt Laws regardingprospecting, hiking, boondocking, stargazing, etc.
Hello Mike, to respond to yor post: PS: this should be another thread, but how come a place like the Canyon Diablo Meteor Crater site is a private enterprise ?! I know we talk about USA but still... such a place should be State or Federal property, no ?! or did I not understand properly your post Mike ? I have been told: Meteor Crater Arizona is private land because in the eartly 20th century Arizona was the wild west and the gvt. allowed people to stake mining claims. Barringer applied for 4 claims, centered on the crater floor where he thought he could mine a large iron meteorite. These claims were essentially free to miners. Of course, the land came with the claim. The crtaer land is only one section ( a square one mile on a side). The land around is property of the Bar-B-Bar ranch, and eventially Barringer (Meteor Crater Enterprises) and the ranch merged into a legal entity. In fact, while the ranch land is many many square miles, they only own every alternate square (checker board pattern) and the other 50% is owned by the state of Arizona; that portion is then leased to the ranch for GRAZING RIGHTS ONLY but NOT MINERAL RIGHTS. (I went through the state reconds at the land office in Phoenix myself and talked to the person in charge.) The whole thing is also part of a recreational overlay for hunters, etc., so they cannot prohibit you from trespassing. If you want to hunt for fossils you are free to do so (last I heard). However, if the staff at meteor Crater catch someone hunting meteorites they can and probably will call the sheriff and do their best to give you a bad time. The state is the only entity that can legally do something about hunting meteorites on the state parcels, and they will as they and the Crater people have a personal relationship. The catch is that legally you need to apply for a permit to hunt meteorites in Arizona (legally). And the state will not process a permit for hunting in the proximity of the crater. One of the reasons that started their policy why they don't want meteorite collecting on their land is that collectors were digging holes and not filling them in. They were making a mess of the grazing land and risking that cattle could fall into a hole at night and break a leg. Makes sense! That was the thinking, I have heard, back in the good old days when only a few hunters would come around.

I was reading with great interest the recent list posts about state laws in Arizona and Colorado regarding hunting for meteorites, bird watching, etc. I don't want some humorless officer with a crewcut and a sharp hat threatening me with jail for stargazing or boondocking, so I'd like to suggest a discussion thread dedicated solely to the laws, and not the ethics, of hunting meteorites on state and federally-owned land. I have a couple of observations and questions I'd like to share with the group and someone please correct me if I am wrong about anything here - I read that one must have a special state license or pass to use certain state lands in Arizona and Colorado - I am assuming this does not apply to pay-for-access areas like State Parks where tourists pay an entry fee and they are allowed to birdwatch and hike within the boundaries of the park. Also, what about the federal land passes that are available? If I am in a National Park in Arizona (federal land) and I have a valid federal land pass, does this mean an Arizona state officer can't hassle me on that federal land? I realize having such a pass does not entitle me to access or use
[meteorite-list] Numa kid to win bit of lunar meteorite
Wonder if it is a Sahara one, or if NASA is breaking out some of the Antarctic stuff? http://www.lahontanvalleynews.com/article/20090404/NEWS/904049984/1055ParentProfile=1045 Numa students learning about space Three sixth-grade classes at Numa Elementary School are learning about where almost no man has gone before. Teachers Vickie Purrell, Tiffany Allyn and Lisa Solinski and their students viewed astronauts working at the Space Station on Wednesday morning as part of their ongoing science project. Students from across the nation e-mailed questions to NASA, and a few were read and answered Wednesday morning via an Internet video feed, but malfunctions prevented questions from Numa being submitted. Each of the classes devised a team name for the exercise. Allyns class picked Allyns Full Throttle Fliers, Purrells students chose Purrells Water Seekers and Solinskis class came up with Solinski Nerdy Moon Missionaries. After selecting a team name, the three classes picked launch times and dates, spacecraft names, durations of the journey and impact dates of when their rockets would land on the moon. Students created pictures of what they felt the spacecraft should look like and how it should be powered. Students divided into three groups navigators, cartographers and engineers to fully understand what happens during and after a rocket launch. Purrell attended a training seminar in February designed to show students how to use antennas to keep in touch with spacecraft. The students plans are due April 27, and as motivation, NASA will hold a drawing for pupils who submit navigation plans. The prize for the best plan is a small piece of a meteorite that fell to Earth from the moon. The three classes each designed a crew route and orbital paths for their spacecraft before it made impact with the moon. Their plans also discussed the types of instruments and controls needed to track the spacecraft. Students will also visit the supersonic wind tunnel building at NASA Ames in Mountain View, Calif., for a firmer grasp on what astronauts encounter, such as how to accomplish simple tasks with no gravity. Each program at the NASA Ames facility lasts 45 minutes. Students said a tremendous amount of teamwork is needed to determine what happens in space exploration. Shelby Blakey, a student in Allyns class, said she enjoyed working with her group, finding information about the launch and coming up with 14th Source as the rockets name. To get it done we needed teamwork, Shelby said. Tyler Wood said it was interesting to learn a little about the process in space exploration, especially the launching of the space shuttle. I also learned teamwork, he said, adding if students had not joined forces, it would have been difficult to accomplish the necessary work. Bailey Knight said it was nice seeing the entire class come together to work on a project of this type. Purrell said students used their own creativity and did not have to be pushed. The kids that did their own challenges were on their own, she said. video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6j475XI1Xg __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
