[meteorite-list] Re: bright flash
Hi Marco I'm completely surprise no one has seen this before. I'm not surprise that know ones seen it right when it happens because its taken some 35 years for me to see it. I'm surprise no ones seen something off to the side. I don't recall how many of those I've almost seen but I would say maybe 5 times or so. What it looked like is like a star you can just see then it just gets bigger and brighter to a point like what the brightest star. Then it was gone. I'm sure it was just a falling star because it did exactly what a falling star would do hitting the atmosphere. It was real cool because it looked like some distant star exploding.

For those who do not know, this is a series of artificial communication satellites, initiated some years ago (I believe we started to first see them in 1997), in order to provide for (expensive) satellite telephone from anywhere in the world. The network entailed as much as 70 satellites, most of which have indeed been launched. The project failed as the company in question got bankrupt, but the satellites are still there although they should be phased out and re-enter as was the plan some time ago when the company was dismantled and the network closed. They carry a large antenna panel which reflects beams of sunlight. This creates short flashes, sometimes just one, sometimes a series within a few seconds. These can be very bright; I've seen Iridium flares of magnitude -8, matching the waxing moon in brightness. We regularly observe them during our meteor observations, if you are watching all night almost inevitably you'll see one (although not all flashes are necessarily that bright) and they are at the same time both a nuisance (as they appear just like bright meteor fireballs when they appear in the corner of your eye), but sometimes also fun. Quite a special phenomena. There is a website where you, for your geographic location, can check on possible Iridium flares visible from your location; so you can check if the flash you saw at a certain time was an iridium, or when another one will be visible for a given night. I don't have the URL ready here, but with a google search or whatever (wouldn't surprise me if sites like ST link to the site) on Iridium flares you might be able to find it and check. - Marco Dutch Meteor Society Message: 13 Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 14:33:16 -1000 (HST) From: Tracy Latimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: azaware [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] bright flash Another candidate for bright flashes of unknown origin is iridium flares.

I found this; it looks to be a possible crater. I know the chances of this being a crates is slim, but since is about 3 miles from Meteor Crater there a good chance it could be.

Re: [meteorite-list] [OT] Re: Norton behind the Virus (!?)
This is the last word from me on this subject. I dare you or any others to take Norton test drive virus protection program, which requires giving them your email, address and see what happens (but as a friend I strongly advise not to do this). The last virus I got on my computer was from this list. Jonathan said something about viruses, so I put my thought on the subject. This doesn't have anything to do with meteorite, but it does have something to do with people sending viruses on this list. My point is simple someone getting paid to spend everyday trying to infected computers. It's not even new viruses; it's the some old ones they keep sending over and over. I'm not saying don't buy the Norton Antivirus program. At this point you have to have something.

In most cases this world would rather believe in what is not possible instead of doing what is most practical. I suppose that the oil companies force you to drive more by making anywhere you need to go farther away from you so you can consume more gasoline, and when your house was built they were there to be sure it was not properly insulated and now make the winters colder so you use more fuel oil? Maybe the bread companies created mold. Think that battery companies planned on their product wearing out?

[meteorite-list] VIRUS, PROTECT YOUR ADDRESS BOOK!
HOW TO PROTECT YOUR ADDRESS BOOK! Try this. It came from one of our computer guys. Found this handy tip about keeping your e-mail virus free. Thought everyone would like to know about this. A friend passed along this computer trick today ... As you may know, when/if a worm virus gets into your computer it heads straight for your email address book, and sends itself to everyone in there, thus infecting all your friends and associates. This trick won't keep the virus from getting into your computer, but it will stop it from using your address book to spread further, and it will alert you to the fact that the worm has gotten into your system. Here's what you do: first, open your address book and click on new contact, just as you would do if you were adding a new friend to your list of email addresses. In the window where you would type your friend's first name, type in AAA. last Name type in AAA, email address type [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now, here's what you've done and why it works: The name AAA will be placed at the top of your address book as entry #1. This will be where the worm will start in an effort to send itself to all your friends. But, when it tries to send itself to AAA, it will be undeliverable because of the phony email address you entered. If the first attempt fails (which it will because of the phony address), the worm goes no further and your friends will not be infected. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Witness fall in the 40's
Hi all I was in a restaurant showing a friend my meteorite. I go there so much the manager know me. He came over when I was showing the meteorite. He told an interesting story. He said in the mountains around Tucson his dad witness a meteorite hit. He said its about the size of a softball. He just has it at home all these year uninterested in having it looked at. I'm hoping I can get over there and get a picture. Any commits. Kim (Az) __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Meteorites Hitting People/Animals
Hi Bob I was just standing outside and on 2-28-02 something hit me. It stung pretty good. I was surprise it hurt because it felt really small when it hit. That was so weird to feel something so small hit with such force. I had two light shirts on and that didn't slow it down a bit. I took a magnet to the area right in front of me. Just running the mag about an inch above the ground. Looking thought the rocks I picked up this one piece stuck out right away. It weighs under a half grain. It looks to have a crust. I have a few pictures. Bob Haag looked at some picture and he said it looked like a meteorite to him. Until now I never heard of a meteorite hitting anything alive. Its ironic that I been really interested in searching for meteorites, then one hits me. How lucky could I get. Tucson lookout here I come. http://www.azdesertmountain.com/meteor1.jpg http://www.azdesertmountain.com/meteor15.jpg http://www.azdesertmountain.com/meteor18.jpg Kim (Az) __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Hit by a Meteorite
Hey All I was just standing outside and on 2-28-02 something hit me. It stung pretty good. I could feel that it was really small when it hit. I was surprise it hurt. It must of been something off a meteorite. That was so weird to feel something so small hit with such force. I was standing east in front of this build. So it come from the sky. It couldn't of been a bug because a bug that little couldn't hit that hard. I had two light shirts on and that didn't slow it down a bit. I took a magnet to the area right in front of me. Just running the mag about an inch above the ground. Looking thought the rocks I picked up this one piece stuck out right away. It weighs under a half grain. It looks to have a crust. I have a few pictures. I'm in Phoenix, is there anybody that could tell if its a meteorite without destroying it? This piece of metal is really small I could see this if it was going fast enough it could sting. How fast could it be going? http://www.azdesertmountain.com/meteor1.jpg http://www.azdesertmountain.com/meteor15.jpg http://www.azdesertmountain.com/meteor18.jpg Kim (Az) __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
