[meteorite-list] Meteor may have landed in Area 52
Not something new, but something that I find rather, well, perplexing... Imagine the luck, or lack thereof for meteorite hunters and scientists, of the largest fireball in the United States in years, (at least since I've been into meteorites), most probably a decade, happening over one of the worlds most secretive and secure military bases on the face of the planet. I mean come on, what are the chances? Pretty good I would say... So is it there? You decide... - By Michael McFall News Editor: The Daily Utah Chronicle Published: Friday, November 20, 2009 Updated: Saturday, November 21, 2009 http://www.dailyutahchronicle.com/news/meteor-may-have-landed-in-area-52-1.2092650 Scientists have evidence that the massive meteor that turned the night sky into day for two seconds Wednesday night might have exploded in the atmosphere above the reputed Area 52—an extremely dangerous, mysterious patch of Utah desert. Patrick Wiggins, NASA Ambassador to Utah and Robert Matson, senior scientist for Applied Science International, believe the cosmic rock blew up as it burned through the atmosphere above Tooele County, based on interpretations of recorded seismic activity information and the meteor’s perceived trajectory. The meteor pieces would’ve landed within a mile of where the meteor exploded -- but unfortunately, that means they would have landed in the Dugway Proving Ground—an area of the western Utah desert, bigger than Rhode Island, where the U.S. Army tests chemical, biological and radioactive warfare, an area that is rumored to be the new Area 51. “It’s a restricted area,” Wiggins said. “I seriously doubt anyone can go out there.” The U.S. Army tested thousands of bombs in the gigantic military reservation, according to the U.S. General Accounting Office. But the area is more colloquially known as Area 52 for all of the reported UFO sightings. Rumors circulate that the Dugway Proving Grounds is where the U.S. Government transferred all of the Area 51 alien research after public scrutiny drew too much attention. No military personnel have found a meteor shard, said Dugway Proving Ground spokesman Al Vogel. Wiggins said he heard a local Utah man is trying to get permission from the military to take an expedition out into the desert to find what’s left of the meteor, likely a straggler from the Leonid meteor shower that the Earth was passing. “I had one gentleman call me about an hour ago,” Vogel said. “He works for the advertising agency as the Clark Planetarium as a client. He has friends who want to go meteor hunting.” Vogel is strongly discouraging anyone from venturing into “Area 52” looking for the meteor. It’s an enormous remote desert with no cell phone reception, no military patrol passing any given area for more than a week, where they still regularly test weapons. There are even areas of the desert too dangerous even for approved military personnel to travel through, Vogel said. Relu Burlacu, seismograph network manager, said there’s nothing to suggest where the meteor pieces might have landed, based on the U’s seismograph station’s recorded activity from Wednesday’s early-morning hours. Vogel also denied that Dugway Proving Ground houses any alien technology, but acknowledged the reputation the military facility has garnered is entertaining to some of its employees. Enjoy...

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteor may have landed in Area 52
Hey Rob, Yes you're right about the area of land, and the chances of it hitting something of that size is just as good as another land mass that size, and it will probably give the conspiracy theorists lots of ammo to use for a long time to come. However I was referring more to the unlucky fact that if it did land on the base, besides the oceans of the world, the base is perhaps the least most desirable place for a meteorite to land considering the possible loss to science if no one is ever able to recover any of the stones. Hello! Some military personell aren't allowed into certain areas of the base, much less a civilian scientist or meteorite hunter. Who would think that an asteroid that floated around in our solar system for billions of years finally came screaming through our atmosphere only to land in the middle of a super secret military installation which no one but people with the highest security clearance has access to. Hmmm... Jeez... Talk about a bummer... Regards, Eric Matson, Robert D. wrote: Hi Eric, Statistically unfortunate, but yes, it fell on Dugway Proving Grounds.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteor may have landed in Area 52
As a long time neighbor (I have land in Nevada across the border north of Baker, Utah) of the Toole Facility, over the years I have met a number of scientists and test site workers. From what I gathered from them, the main problem with going into the restricted areas is that their are pockets of decomposed, but still toxic, chemical and bilogical agents. I recall a flock of Basque owned sheep that grazed at the periphery and dropped dead in their tracks. The 22 year old herder by the name of Roberto Ergitui is said to have been found dead in his camp wagon with his dog. I wouldn't venture into the area even in the absence of patrols.

[meteorite-list] Part of Dugway strewn field may be safely searchable
I quite agree that no meteorite is worth getting anthrax, or something equally nasty. That said, the predicted strewnfield does get quite close to one of the east-west roads crossing the base -- in fact, the strewn field may actually intersect this road. So I would think that the areas immediately adjacent to the road would be safely searchable assuming some consideration was made by the military to keep hot zones away from high traffic areas. --Rob -Original Message- From: meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of countde...@earthlink.net Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 11:44 AM To: Meteorites USA; meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Meteor may have landed in Area 52 As a long time neighbor (I have land in Nevada across the border north of Baker, Utah) of the Toole Facility, over the years I have met a number of scientists and test site workers.

[meteorite-list] Metal detector Question
If somebody was wanting a metal detector with plans to use it searching for meteorites, gold nuggets and coins in Australia what would be the best metal detector to get?

Re: [meteorite-list] Metal detector Question
Meteorite Detectors? A good top of the line gold machine is what most meteorite hunters use in their quest to collect these cosmic visitors we call meteorites. However, one must not overlook the hundreds of hours that they put into learning the subtleties of their particular machine. Every metal detector is different and has its own strengths and weaknesses. But remember, the pros never rely on just the squeal of a metal detector to know if they found a meteorite. Visual meteorite I.D. in the field is the key. This is because even the best metal detectors in the world will only tell you if the rock in question has enough mineralization to set it off. There is no such thing as a meteorite detector. To make matters worse there is a large percentage of worthless earth rocks that will make a metal detector sound off. This type of rock is known as a “hot rock”. Therefore one can see how using only a metal detector to find a meteorite among a sea of hot rocks can be an impossible task. However, If a good metal detector is what you want here are the three best candidates for gold and meteorites. Minelab 3000About $3000 Whites GMT About $800 Fisher Gold Bug 2 About $800 -- Rock On!

Visual meteorite I.D. in the field is the key. This is because even the best metal detectors in the world will only tell you if the rock in question has enough mineralization to set it off. There is no such thing as a meteorite detector. To make matters worse there is a large percentage of worthless earth rocks that will make a metal detector sound off. This type of rock is known as a “hot rock”. Therefore one can see how using only a metal detector to find a meteorite among a sea of hot rocks can be an impossible task. However, If a good metal detector is what you want here are the three best candidates for gold and meteorites. Minelab 3000About $3000 Whites GMT About $800 Fisher Gold Bug 2 About $800 -- Rock On!

You decide... - By Michael McFall News Editor: The Daily Utah Chronicle Published: Friday, November 20, 2009 Updated: Saturday, November 21, 2009 http://www.dailyutahchronicle.com/news/meteor-may-have-landed-in-area-52-1.2092650 Scientists have evidence that the massive meteor that turned the night sky into day for two seconds Wednesday night might have exploded in the atmosphere above the reputed Area 52—an extremely dangerous, mysterious patch of Utah desert. Patrick Wiggins, NASA Ambassador to Utah and Robert Matson, senior scientist for Applied Science International, believe the cosmic rock blew up as it burned through the atmosphere above Tooele County, based on interpretations of recorded seismic activity information and the meteor’s perceived trajectory. The meteor pieces would’ve landed within a mile of where the meteor exploded -- but unfortunately, that means they would have landed in the Dugway Proving Ground—an area of the western Utah desert, bigger than Rhode Island, where the U.S. Army tests chemical, biological and radioactive warfare, an area that is rumored to be the new Area 51. “It’s a restricted area,” Wiggins said. “I seriously doubt anyone can go out there.” The U.S. Army tested thousands of bombs in the gigantic military reservation, according to the U.S. General Accounting Office. But the area is more colloquially known as Area 52 for all of the reported UFO sightings. Rumors circulate that the Dugway Proving Grounds is where the U.S. Government transferred all of the Area 51 alien research after public scrutiny drew too much attention. No military personnel have found a meteor shard, said Dugway Proving Ground spokesman Al Vogel. Wiggins said he heard a local Utah man is trying to get permission from the military to take an expedition out into the desert to find what’s left of the meteor, likely a straggler from the Leonid meteor shower that the Earth was passing. “I had one gentleman call me about an hour ago,” Vogel said. “He works for the advertising agency as the Clark Planetarium as a client. He has friends who want to go meteor hunting.” Vogel is strongly discouraging anyone from venturing into “Area 52” looking for the meteor. It’s an enormous remote desert with no cell phone reception, no military patrol passing any given area for more than a week, where they still regularly test weapons. There are even areas of the desert too dangerous even for approved military personnel to travel through, Vogel said. Relu Burlacu, seismograph network manager, said there’s nothing to suggest where the meteor pieces might have landed, based on the U’s seismograph station’s recorded activity from Wednesday’s early-morning hours. Vogel also denied that Dugway Proving Ground houses any alien technology, but acknowledged the reputation the military facility has garnered is entertaining to some of its employees. Enjoy...

Re: [meteorite-list] Metal detector Question
Hi Dean, I would draw a line between gold ( meteorites) and coins. A machine for all around hunting usually lowers the performance of the machine in those different styles of hunting. So many detectorists choose to own 2 machines (one for gold/meteorites and one for coins). For hunting gold in Australia I would go with the Minelab because they were developed in Australia in order to combat their heavily mineralized ground. They also make good coin machines. They may have a multi-use machine that does a good job. The newer multi-frequency machines would be something to look at. But again, 2 machines is better. Having a deep seeking gold machine, along with a coin machine better suited to finding shallow, small targets would increase the probability of success. I'm in the states and my Whites serves me well. I also have a coin machine that can hunt gold, but I always put it down and use my dedicated gold machine instead. Good luck, Mark B.

[meteorite-list] Area 52 Meteorite Hunt Proposal
Hi Greg and List, Being quite familiar with the area if someone would provide definitive position estimates of the location of the fall, I would provide information on how to access the area. Safely. As of this writing..it appears we are talking about East of Granite Mountain in an area that would be accessible using State Highway 174..the Brush Road and the old Granite Ranch Road (Pony Express Route). Depending on the plotted trajectory...and I'm getting a few phone calls returned that indicate the heavier material could of fallen well West of the Dugway Range Boundary. I need more info. One of my friends at a cattle camp in the are swears he heard sonic booms that were multiple and too close together to be supersonic low level aircraft. Which frequent the area all the way to Sevier Lake. Usually they project a single boom. These he claims were sharper and at least three close,but seperate. He was sheltering from the wind so did not see any visual phenomenem.

[meteorite-list] MRO Team Plans Uplink of Protective Files
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2009-177 Team Plans Uplink of Protective Files Jet Propulsion Laboratory November 24, 2009 PASADENA, Calif. -- The team operating NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter plans to uplink protective files to the spacecraft next week as one step toward resuming the orbiter's research and relay activities. Since the orbiter spontaneously rebooted its computer on Aug. 26, flight team engineers have been examining possible root causes and repercussions of that incident and three similar events this year on Feb. 23, June 3 and Aug. 6. Meanwhile, the team has kept the spacecraft in a precautionary, minimally active status called safe mode. The four reboots involved a device, called the computer module interface controller, that controls which of two redundant main computers on the spacecraft is active. Still undetermined is whether trouble lies with that controller itself or with a voltage glitch elsewhere on the spacecraft. The Aug. 6 reboot, though not the other three, prompted a switch from one computer to its backup twin. More than 100 factors are under consideration as possible root causes. Engineers' analysis of the reboots has identified a possible, though unlikely, scenario that, should it occur, could jeopardize the spacecraft. This scenario would require two computer reboots, each worse than any so far, occurring within about a minute of each other in a certain pattern. The effect would be that neither of the redundant computers would remember that the spacecraft is in orbit around Mars instead of awaiting launch. The team has developed and tested a preventive-care measure to eliminate this possibility. The preventive care requires amending some data files in the computers' non-volatile, or flash memories where the computers check for default settings when they reboot. However, overwriting information in those files can entail risk, especially if the spacecraft were to experience another reboot with the process only partially completed. A process developed and tested in recent weeks to minimize that risk will take several days to implement. The team will uplink, install and verify the changes in a careful sequence. We plan to begin uplinking protective files next week, said Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project Manager Jim Erickson of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. This process is to bulletproof the spacecraft against a remote vulnerability that our team identified. Meanwhile, analysis of possible root causes for the four reboots this year continues as another important part of our path toward resuming science operations. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter uses six instruments to examine Mars in detail, from subsurface layers to the top of the atmosphere. It began its investigations in 2006, has provided more data about Mars than all other missions combined, and last year completed its primary science phase. Continuing science observations are planned when the spacecraft is brought out of safe mode, but no specific date for that has been set. The precautionary steps we are taking are not driven by the calendar, but by our commitment to care for this valuable national resource, Erickson said. We are all eager to have science observations resume as soon as a properly cautious process allows.

A good gold machine can find coins, a good coin machine can't necessarily find gold. White's Goldmaster series VLF detectors are great, Fisher's Gold Bug 2 is GREAT, and Minelabs 2100's are simple and great! or you can dive deeper into minelabs detectors and buy some really expensive detectors that are HOO on gold and meteorites but have tons of interference and pinpointing issues...

Re: [meteorite-list] What is or is not a chondrule?
Hello Tom, excellent photo! I believe this is one of those heated-cooled-heated-quenched cycled chondrules and the crosses are the seed/loci of crystallization: the de-vitrification of the glass matrix into ordered alignment of the molecules( aka crystallized solid). In other words, this is a frozen example one phase of the chondrule forming process. It is a body that lies between glass/dust and crystallized. Were we able to watch this process in time lapse we would see the crosses grow in length and width until all the matrix was converted. Elton Tom Philips wrote: ...
