A recent addition to the article by Ediazmartinez at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamil_Crater states: "According to evidence provided by Google Earth images, Kamil crater morphology and its prototypical rayed structure (well-preserved radiating features) have been destroyed between 2020 and 2023, most probably due to exhaustive plundering of meteorite fragments. The last image of the well preserved crater is of February 2020, whereas it is fully destroyed in the next image dated May 2023, so it was destroyed between those two dates. The size of the wheel tracks visible on trails to/from the former crater indicate that heavy machinery was used for the collection of meteoritic material.” The note was added on October 10, 2024 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kamil_Crater&diff=prev&oldid=1250464561 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ediazmartinez I looked at the Google Earth images and essentially agree with what is written. Although the exact timeline is open to interpretation, the aerial images do show that this crater, which is a protected site, has been destroyed by people illegally mining it presumably for iron meteorite fragments and spherules. Heavy machinery, presumably electromagnets and other methods were used to vandalize, desecrate, and otherwise destroy this irreplaceable part of the Egypt's geological heritage for personal gain.

Harvard physicist Avi Loeb is organizing a $1.5-million expedition to Papua New Guinea to search for fragments of a very strange meteorite that impacted just off the coast of the Pacific nation in 2014. There’s compelling evidence that the half-meter-wide meteorite, called CNEOS1 2014-01-08, traveled from outside our solar system. And that it’s made of extremely hard rock or metal—a material that’s hard and tough enough to prove the meteorite isn’t a meteorite at all. Maybe it’s an alien probe. It’s a long-shot effort. After years of work, Loeb and his team have, with a big assist from the U.S. military, narrowed down CNEOS1 2014-01-08’s likely impact zone to a square kilometer of the ocean floor, nearly two kilometers underwater. But the fragments themselves are probably just a few millimeters in size. It’s worse than looking for a needle in a haystack.

Here is what I was able to find from Dr. Fries information:
- An image from the GOES 16 GLM which shows the bolide over Mexico.
- Brief animation from NOAA weather radar from the KEPZ radar El Paso, NM.
It shows the rapidly spreading circular feature Dr. Fries describes.

There was a daytime bolide over the AZ/NM/Mexico area this morning (16 Oct
2021) at 1323 UTC which may have generated a meteorite fall. The American
Meteor Society is reporting it here:
https://fireball.amsmeteors.org/members/imo_view/event/2021/6611
At the time of this writing, the AMS is reporting a ground track just east of
Tucson. This event shows up clearly on both the GOES East and West satellite
data, in the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) imagery, but with a ground
track that appears to be farther to the SE and in northern Mexico.
NOAA weather radar imagery from the KEPZ radar (El Paso, TX) reveals a striking
feature which appears near the location suggested by GLM and at the time
reported by GLM and eyewitness accounts. This feature is a rapidly-spreading
circular feature centered on:
107.9987°W 30.7232°N
This feature appears as an expanding circle at low altitude, moving at 30 mph
outward in all directions following the time of the bolide. This circular
signature may be birds scared into flight by the sonic boom. This same bird
feature is visible in radar data for the Monahans and Indian Butte meteorite
falls. No falling meteorites are obvious, but the event occurred at long range
from the radar and the weak radar signatures of falling meteorites may not
appear.
In summary, GLM, eyewitness, and weather radar data indicate that a meteorite
fall may have occurred in Mexico near the coordinates listed above. This site
is populated and features a few farming communities, with the "El Chocolate"
dry lake bed to its south. Conditions should be good for recovery of
meteorites. Analysis of radar data will continue.

For example, people would upload their Tucson or Ensisheim pics to Photobucket, Flickr, or their website and then link them here. It just involves a couple of extra clicks to bypass FB entirely for this functionality. '"I kind of cI kind of concur with the sentiment that this email list is dead/dying.

I > love the daily MPoD vial email, but aside from that, this vehicle for > sharing and engaging with others is antiquated and obsolete." Over the years, I have seen this list wax and wane with activity. I hope it will recover from this recent dry spell. I would argue that this list is not obsolete, just suffering from a case of widespread psychosis that somehow Zuckerberg's playground is better than the medium itself that created it. "However, I am grateful that it is still available for those of us who cannot > or will not change with the times. " If the times are changing to an online world where Facebook, Amazon, and Google control everything, then count me out. I'll fly my Luddite flag proudly. " I believe those members have valuable > insight into meteorites and their history and I would sad to lose what could > be gained from them because they cannot or choose not to grasp how to use > Facebook or other social media platforms." Indeed, it would be sad. And that is exactly what FB and Zuck are trying to do - put venues like this out of business and gobble up their audiences. Oh, I grasp FB and how to use it. And I have an active presence on some non-Facebook platforms. My apparent beef is not with social media itself, it is with Facebook and it's policies. Ello and Mastodon are better than FB all day long and twice on sundays. "At the end of the day, some will move to Facebook and join the rest of us, > while others will stay here (until the number of people that are left here > is so small that it is really just an archive). " I was the rest of us. When I first joined FB in early 2009, there was exactly one large-ish meteorite group and just one or two other dealers actively selling in other groups outside that one. We were pretty lonely for a while and I was one of those people (like you) singing the praises of social media and Facebook. Then everybody started coming to FB and the List started getting quieter and quieter. And FB started getting crazier and crazier, and then the algorithms kicked in, and then Zuck took off his mask and showed his true colors. You wanna roll with that guy, despite knowing what he's about? Well, as long as Art keeps the lights turned on (so to speak), I am going to try to help keep this List going. All of the content I used to post on FB will now go here - new fall reports, met bull updates, research links, articles, original essays, *links* to photos, etc. Art > Zuckerberg. Met-List > Facebook. No matter what ends up happening, the above two statements will always remain true, even if FB gobbles up the online world and this list becomes the Ozymandias of meteorite discussion.

[meteorite-list] New fall in Kenya
We have a large new fall in Kerinyaga state, Kerugoya Kenya. 24 April 2020 20:00 hours. Chondrite. White, at least 15-20 kg known. Sadly heavy rains began the next afternoon and stones not recovered immediately are already exhibiting heavy oxidation. Save up your pennies folks. For a little background on how I got ahold of this fall so fast. I saw the Kenya fall on Friday night Tucson time, barely 7 hours after it happened in Kenya. I’ve been to Kenya 7 times, 3 for Thika fall in 2011 (60km from this fall. Four trips for Sericho Pallasite. I’ll call this fall Komboini for the moment. I called my contacts in Kenya immediately, one of whom arrived there Saturday evening less than 24 hours after the fall. He was rapidly buying material for me. I have the hammer stone (fell on a house in Komboini) and we removed the roof panel with the hole and even the tile floor that was shattered by the stone. The meteorite shattered on impact. Most of the stones you’ve all seen in the photos and video I have. Some you haven’t seen I have. Heavy rains started hours after the fall and any stones recovered after the rains began are heavily oxidized already. I assume the fall is an H5. Seems too high metal for an L but that’s also possible. Pieces will be available for sale next week. There will be enough to go around. As you can see I have some kilos. Many stones sadly were picked up and hammered to see what was inside them. Sad but will provide for lots of fresh fragments for collectors. Relax. I plan to make a coronavirus stay-at-home special offer to get pieces to everyone at very low cost. Money is hard to come by these days. There is a massive panic in Kenya with the Sericho crowd all selling and offering photos. Most of them can’t move because Kenya is locked down. Be warned that many are claiming to be there who aren’t there. Roads are blocked by military due to coronavirus lockdown and movement is difficult or impossible for most. My guy is high up in the government. He can move. I’m being offered stones by Moroccans that I already purchased😂. Beware of people offering pieces they don’t have in hand.Michael Farmer Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Rare specimens ad
Offering three very rare nice pieces today. I’m starting to sort boxes and plan to begin offering nice pieces to pay down bills in this tough time. First Park Forest. Famous Winslow street specimen. This meteorite has a crazy history. It hit the road (this exact specimen shows asphalt embedded in the rough side) the ricocheted into the side of a home in Winslow Street. It made a large hole in the side of the house near the front door. A fragment also damaged the car in the drive. A bidding war ensued for most of the pieces (which I won at terrible cost). The woman had turned in the rock to the police the night of the fall after reporting the damage to her home. She reclaimed them from the police the next day but after I bought them all the police chief called me weeks later threatening legal action or even arrest if I didn’t return then. (They claimed that it belonged to the city die to impacting the road before hitting the home). In the end I sent part back to the town for their museum.

Re: [meteorite-list] Educational presentations at Tucson?
The main problem is that the dealers are all tied up. I live in Tucson and the show is a time where I don’t have a spare second for about 5 weeks. I make a large chunk of my yearly income from the Tucson show. It’s a work time for me. Most collectors and buyers come to Tucson with a couple of days. In that time it’s impossible to see the show. The Tucson show itself is massive. Covers venues all over the city tens of miles apart. There just no time to attend such an event during the show.

[meteorite-list] Viñales meteorite fall report
I just spent a week in Viñales. The stories about the fall are incredible. I’d like to share a few things regarding the fall. I speak fluent Spanish so getting the information was easy. One farmer was in his yard feeding chickens when he saw the bright flash for a couple of seconds he said brighter than the sun. Hard to see because the sun was also in the same direction. It then he saw the smoke trail overhead expanding once it passed over. A couple minutes later the sonic booms and shockwave hit. he said it was like being punched. Then a minute or more after the shockwave hit, stones started falling all around him. He heard individual pieces screaming in making whistling sounds and hitting the ground. One hit his garden about 50 feet away. Another landed in the pond about 100 feet away, making a large water splash. Another hit in the coffee plants behind his house. He said stones were falling for over a minute or two. Hitting at different times. They didn’t all come down at once. He and his family found 4 near his house. One he heard hit in thick brush and it hasn’t yet been found. One hit a yucca plant nearly Cutting the trunk in half. He found that stone 5 days later embedded in the soil at the base of the plant. His wife found another across the street of almost 1 kilogram. It was embedded in the soil and only the top surface was showing. One boy on a bicycle was riding home rapidly afraid from the explosions. He thought it was an American missile attack. A large 250 gram meteorite slammed into the asphalt road in front of him nearly hitting him. He saw it bounce into the ditch and he jumped off the bike and grabbed it, rapidly throwing it down because the stone was painfully cold. Another stone landed on the patio of the guesthouse Where I stayed in downtown Viñales town. I spoke to three other people who saw stones hit the ground and picked the up instantly, all said same thing, that they had to drop them because they were so cold. One stone penetrated a house roof in Viñales and smashed a laptop computer. I have not located the stone or computer to confirm. Possible the police confiscated it. I have people working on it. I know of at least 15 houses hit. All stones taken by the government. I drove all over the Viñales Valley area, a massive area and no part was spared meteorites. They were everywhere. Heavily scattered and not well sorted. 10 gram stones fell a few feet from 2.5 kilogram stones. 50 gram, 500 gram. All same place. Miles away in the town of La Majagua, thousands of small peas landed. Sadly few were collected. The area is dense jungle and forest. Some people reported picking up over 100 stones in a short time. Many thrown away or given to the government. People came from far away and took pieces. Miles up the road to the east is the El Salto lake. Many stones were found on the dam. It has been heavily searched and I spent a few hours there and didn’t find any. Some people reported going into the pine forest nearby and finding many small stones on the pine needles on the ground. Sadly a massive heavy rain came last week only a couple days before my arrival washing away the roads and making finds much more difficult. With limited time I didn’t make any finds. Most stones that landed in the soft farm soil penetrated in and vanished under the soil. Before the rain people could see the impact holes and locate the stone below. Now after the rain they are impossible to locate. Stones are still being found in grassy pastures and fields. But ticks are a problem. Within moments of entering the grass you will be covered in tiny ticks. I’m still looking for them. Stones are reported as falling in Pilotos village as well. This is due to the high winds that curved the strewn field sharply to the east. Doubtless millions of stones fell. The energy was 1.5 kiloton and the mass was 350~ tons. If 99 % vaporized there would still be 3 tons on the ground. The problem is that the main part of the strewn field with larger pieces is all jungle, mountains and dense tropical forest. Not much chance of many large ones being recovered, and the largest masses made it to the ocean. Hard to estimate what’s been recovered. I’d put it at 30-50 kilograms or more. I have a limited number of complete crusted stones from 10 grams up yo about 50 grams. I was able to decide what to purchase so I only took the best pieces. Money is severely limited in Cuba due to no access to American banking. Impossible to use any credit card or bank card. Cash is heavily taxed. Changing is dollars incurs an instant 13% penalty tax!

Re: [meteorite-list] Recently found Algerian Iron
The Meteorite is real. That’s not a problem. The problem it that there are 1000 people brokering it, none of whom own it or have ever even seen it. It sits in Algeria pretty much untouchable. I am a serious buyer but the games being played with it make it a scam. When I see it delivered to my house in Tucson I’ll know it’s really for sale.

Where have you been Bob? This iron has been on the market for last year and a half. Waste of time. I’ve tried to buy it.

Re: [meteorite-list] Want To Buy Large Zag or Monahans
There is plenty people don’t know I have. I possess a massive collection. What’s visible on my website is 1/100th of what I have. Monahans was important to me and I got it in exchange from ASU. I’m not at home I’m in Europe and China so I can’t remember exact weight but it’s a large piece from the NASA studied specimen with the halite crystals. Very rare and very unobtainable for any price.

[meteorite-list] Announcing new Pallasite from Kenya
I am happy to announce today a new Pallasite from Kenya. I have been working tirelessly on this project for the last five months. After several trips to Kenya and 10 cargo shipments we are nearing the end. A strewn-field was discovered in Wajir Kenya last year in the desert near the border with Somalia. Needless to say, this area is a hot-zone, basically a war zone. Moritz Karl and I had to have heavy security escort and armed guards stationed at our hotel doors to prevent attack or kidnapping by Al Shabab terrorists in February when we traveled to the location. So far over 30 pieces with a total known weight of approximately 2 metric tons has been found, of which myself, Jim Strope and Moritz Karl have purchased it all. Sadly events beyond my control are forcing me to make it public today. Two pieces were stolen from a shipment to Nairobi and are now being offered in public. One is 65 kilos and the other I am not sure of the weight. Kenya national Police are involved in tracking down the people involved in the theft. This is a warning to anyone who buys the stolen pieces. I have legal export permits for the exported specimens. The minister has been notified of the theft and will block export of the stolen pieces until legal case is resolved to dropped. Some smaller fragmented samples which were sledge-hammered have possibly left Kenya however. Anything not issued an export permit is illegal to remove from the Republic of Kenya. The pallasite is extremely fresh and nearly all pieces are covered in blue-black fusion crust. Pieces are being processed at this time for slices and my hope was to announce it in Ensisheim in June. Due to the ongoing theft I must announce it today to claim the credit for my work. It has been submitted for classification and the work is ongoing with Laurence Garvie and Devin Schrader at Arizona State University, center for meteorite studies.
