Hi Sonny,
One technique to make it easier to determine magnetic
attraction is to tie a string (about 2-3 feet long)to
a strong magnet (like a neodynium magnet) , hang onto
the string, target on the ground, look down the string
while drawing the magnet close to the target. You will
be able to see v

For a decaying satellite it will take a few minutes less than 1.5 hours to
once circle the earth in a very low orbit of just a bit more than 100 km
(approximately 65 mi) height above sea level, hence a speed of something

That may be, but you still have to consider space junk. Some fireball
sightings in the past have been confirmed space junk reentries.

I've personally seen a handful of fireballs, but no space junk.

Half of this were very tiny pieces with very small RCS values, not large enough
to cause a fireball.

I think that space junk is somewhat over represented in widely witnessed
fireballs just because it tends to come in slow and flat... lots of
territory covered, lots of time.
But certainly, it is usually easy to check for and an ordinary meteor is
much more likely. Reporters typically go to som

I forgot to mention the hunting hours and price to recover this

16 hours of hunting for two days.
9.5 hours of driving time.
Fuel 162.00 for two days of driving.

Total weight of meteorites recovered 13 grams. Look on my wifes face

Congrats Sonny,
You never cease to amaze me...Perhaps you need to go
through your rock pile again.
Looks like I may also have another possible new find
from out West. ASU has it now for classification.
It has been a busy year for you my friend!
