[meteorite-list] What's the deal?
What is the deal with all the recent meteor sightings? Is it me or does there seem to be more sightings recently?

Re: [meteorite-list] What's the deal?
Fireballs don't happen at a uniform rate, but are often clustered somewhat (that's just a statistical effect; they are not physically related). Combine this with the added awareness that comes with a widely witnessed event, and I think that explains things. BTW, I'd put the start of this particular run at last November's Saskatchewan fireball and subsequent recovery, not the more recent Texas event.

Re: [meteorite-list] What's The Deal ?
Greetings: Having been following falls/sightings for some time, I've wondered the same thing. Has there been more lately? But I kept quiet and said nothing. On camping trips, my sons and I count satellites and meteors, and do some amateur astronomy, as I have been doing for almost fifty years. We try to time our camping trips to co-incide with a meteor shower to get a better show. And in all those years, I saw only two big really bright fireballs, one of them during the middle of the day. (big bright green ball of light going across the sky right near noon-hour) Fantastic luck !!! But in just the past couple years I saw two more, (only at night, not during day) when all the previous years I saw only two. I believe that is just a coincidence But it is interesting that I am not the only one suspecting that maybe, just maybe... there has been more witnessed and even filmed falls in the past few years. Does this represent an increase of meteoroids in our neighborhood ??? Some change in our area of the Solar System ?? I don't think so. But who knows for sure ? I don't know. It is an interesting question.

[meteorite-list] What's the deal with this metal?
Hey List, have you seen metal in a Chondrite that looks like this, I find it strange. You might have to enlarge it a little to see the details. : ) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/peregrineflier/DSCN0721.jpg Thanks, Tom peregrineflier IMCA 6168 http://www.frontiernet.net/~peregrineflier/Peregrineflier.htm http://fstop.proboards24.com/ __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
