Re: [meteorite-list] Stolen meteorites return home
Gary, I'm just glad I was able to help and that my curiosity prompted me to place those pictures on the web. The irons I knew, but the eucrite definitely had piqued my interest.

Last week, I discovered them through Jason Snyder who innocently purchased them from a seller he did not know. I contacted Jason, who was straightforward with me about how he acquired them. He has honorably sent them back home where they can continue to do the good work of outreach, inspiring young people to empower themselves through education here in Hawaii.

[meteorite-list] Type and or Kind on meteorite?
List, I recently added some meteorites to my collection, but unfortunately, the owner din't have any idea as to the kind of meteorites he was getting rid of. I have asked a few people about them with mixed reviews. I know the Sikhote Alin's, and the OC in the pics, but what about the pallisite, and the grey meteorite? I was told that the grey looking meteorite might be a diogenite or howardite, but I'm leaning more to the diogenite. Any and all suggestions recommended on the kinds. I have also listed the one's for sale previously, and they are still for sale. Two Sikhote Alins, and unknown iron, and the OC.

Hi all, those are nasty for sure. Two years ago down at Franconia I ran into this little guy.

When you think of a baby ratler produces less venom your way wrong!! The thing is they still need to learn how to control the amount of venom needed when hunting for prey. The adults may even give a dry bite many times just to defend themselves and are more or less aware they need their venom better to catch prey. I got a bite from an adult Diamond Back a few years ago and nothing happened.. Believe me, when they stike and give you the full amountyou'll know!! Immediately when that baby got me, my finger started swelling up. The pain was unbaerable. When you feel the venom is pumped in your finger it feels like a very hot local electric shock. After a few hours my arm turned all colors of the rainbow and at the end my complete arm was swollen over 6 inches thicker than my other arm. I ended up at the ICU with tubes sticking out from every hole in my body, beeping monitors everywhere and needed 8 vails of antivenom with an even more dangerous risknot everybody reacts positive on these antivenoms and they even may get things worse. You even may suffer from an aflectic shock (an extra alergic reaction from the rattlers venom) which also can be deadly.

Re: [meteorite-list] New Fall ?
A group of us from the local astronomy club were out Saturday and we saw the double-explosion of the falling object, but it was one explosion, then immediately another (back-to-back). The fall seemed to be at a steep incline, instead of a flat one, towards the east. It was all in the same fall, not separated what so ever. It lit up the sky and about blinded us observing. I figured it was in AZ. but kept wondering if anything had survived the actual fall. Very interesting, indeed. Jason On Apr 29, 2009, at 9:57 AM, Dennis Wells wrote: suspected meteor lights up sky east of Kingman By JIM SECKLER/The Daily News Wednesday, April 29, 2009 1:20 AM CDT KINGMAN - It wasn't Armageddon but Kingman residents and residents across Northern Arizona witnessed a fireball late Saturday night. The Mohave County Sheriff's Office took numerous reports of a fireball in the sky near midnight Saturday. One witness saw a bright green glow falling from the sky near the Peacock Mountains then reported a big white flash of light as it hit the ground. Another witness also saw a bright green glow falling from the north/northwest direction. The glow seemed to get bigger and bigger until it hit the ground becoming a bright orange flash. Other witnesses also saw a bright green glowing object fall from the sky and hit near the Peacock Mountains, also bursting into a big orange light, Mohave County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Trish Carter said. The sheriff's office contacted the Federal Aviation Administration, which reported that there were no missing airplanes. The sheriff's office believes the object was a meteor. Lowell Observatory spokesman Steele Wotkyns said there were reports from Kingman to the New Mexico border of a flash in the sky Saturday night. Most meteors burn up before hitting the earth and most are no bigger than a grain of sand. Astronomer Jeff Hall, who works at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, also witnessed the fireball around 11 p.m. and possibly a second fireball about 30 minutes later. Hall said there is no way of knowing how big a meteor is. There were no reports of anyone finding the object. If the meteor is the size of a car as it hits the atmosphere, it could be big enough to hit the ground depending how it enters the atmosphere. A colleague of Hall's said it might be space junk. Generally, meteors travel about 30 miles per second or 108,000 mph. Where Saturday night's suspected meteor hit is not known until pieces are found. Wotkyns said meteors the size of basketballs hit the earth on average one every month but with three-quarters of the earth being ocean, most land in the water. Meteors rarely are big enough to hit the ground, he added. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] 2008 Perseid Maximum approaching
Hello List and Bernd, For the skies over the greater Las Vegas area they were perfect. I was above the 6000' ft area at Mt. Charleston, NV. from 2215 until 0415 and witnessed 240 meteors, falling from all directions. Most of them from the radiant, but a few came from behind me, not to mention the far extreme sides, towards the horizon. The shower peaked right on schedule about 0200 here, with a maximum of 67 meteors falling from 0200 to 0300hrs. Overall the weather was clear, a cool 56 degrees and I also had two cameras pointed at the sky. I used my two trusty Olympus OM-1/(n) with traditional KodaChrome 200 and also Fuji Sensia 400 slide film and will have the results shortly. In 2005 I used the same set-up and caught three Perseids on film in which I was quite pleased with. I moved the cameras to several points throughout the sky after a few minutes of open shutter. Now if I can just rid of this aching stiff neck.

The camera is mounted on a tripod and I' m going to try exposures between 20 seconds and 1 minute - more eposure time is out of the question because our suburban sky is severely light-polluted :-( The maximum is supposed to be in the early afternoon hours of August 12th for Central Europe, about sunrise time in the Eastern part of the US and about three o'clock a.m. for Arizona - so get ready for very favorable conditions in the Far West. Here in Europe, the best time to observe and photograph the Perseids will be tomorrow morning (August 12) after moonset at about one o'clock a.m. and also tomorrow night (August 13) after the Moon sets at about 2 o'clock. I will point my camera again toward the constellation Cygnus because I succeeded in photographing two Perseids shooting through the Swan some years ago and this constellation is far enough away from the shower's radiant point in northern Perseus.

My son and I took on the just-above-freezing temp long enough to count an even 100 meteors, which took just under 1 1/2 hrs, from just after midnight to almost 1:30 am. Many were quite nice. Hope many of you had a chance to catch the show, if you were interested in doing so. Merry Christmas to all, Robert Woolard Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

Re: [meteorite-list] Rocks from Space - November 21, 2007
Moni and list,
The strewn field down at Franconia is bi-sected by Interstate-40 with the
sides respectively, North and South. On Nov. 16, 2007, I decided to hunt an
area that was new to me on the Northside (I have been down to Franconia many
times, the past two years). I was using a metal detector as most do; 1.)
because the area has been worked over hard the past several years and 2.)
many of the bigger chondrites pieces are buried. The really big, big pieces
were picked up during the discovery of the field in 2002. But for this
piece, it was on top with half of it buried in the ground. The chances are
still very good of finding meteorites down there and with just a meteorite
cane, but require a lot of walking into areas most don't visit. A good
indicator is the lack of the so-called, Scratch holes and diggings around
that particular area. Happy Hunting and Thanksgiving

Good morning All and Jason,
and what a beautiful find from
Franconia!javascript:onSubmitToolbarItemClicked('SendMessage','SendMessageLight.aspx?_ec=1n=572208717');

Is it a 'Franconia meteorite' though? ;-)
Jason, did you see it on the ground first or did you have to have a metal
detector to find it?
On the video it looks like many rocks seems to have similar colors as the
meteorites so I am wondering about this.
My friend Greg Stanley, also on this list, went out to Franconia a few
weeks ago
and got skunked, as he calls it.
But also he didn't have a metal detector.
Neither do I and that is a reason I never went there to search.
With best regards,
Moni
