It is not uncommon to see red and orange, especially in slower fireballs. While the meteor is still visible (and with a smoke trail) it is moving at hypersonic velocity, miles up. If the body slows enough before it burns up, what's left falls slowly, dropping generally below any terminal explosi

Re: [meteorite-list] Greek Crater MAYA SAILORS

Hi, Bob, List, We didn't "jump." We ambled. EP opined the Maya knew about the Rio Cuarto impact. Doug opined they couldn't have gone there to check, as the lands are impassible and the Maya were not a seafaring people. And I opined they were. See? An "amble," perhaps a "mosey," but not a jump.

Very interesting, Kevin. All: If it was a meteorite and was orangish-yellow (or maybe she said yellowish-orange) and had a black smoke trail behind it, does that mean that it's still going through the atmosphere at cosmic speed and friction is still burning it up? If the atmosphere has slowed it
