After flying from coast to coast today, imagine my glee with 20 or so post on
this topic ... very insightful posts, I might add.
I can't wait until the upcoming 'reduction' in ADS that keep cluttering up my
INBOX!
With tongue fully in cheek ...

Hi Linton,
I did jump off a perfectly good bridge in Nanaimo, BC a very long time ago,
but I don't remember catching any loose gravel on the bungy cord on the way
towards the river... ;-)
I did fulfill that Bucket List item, and then went on to gather really cool
rocks! :)

We had a fairly large fireball just 31 minutes ago at 8:31p.m. Pacific time,
color was mostly green heading east just north of Grant's Pass and it was seen
to break into three pieces. It lit things up at dusk and was most likely seen
by a number of people driving north and south on interstate 5.
I knew it was a rock in his head that fell out of his ear and got caught up
in his shute!
Cheers

One thing's for sure, Greg...

Seems pretty normal. While there's still at least a reasonable
possibility of a meteorite, I'd expect a lot of chatter among people
interested in meteorites. Once it's demonstrated that the meteorite
explanation is extremely unlikely, people move on. What's left to discuss?

Well, there were a hundred posts when it broke, now that it seems to be
un-breaking it goes silent.

Actually it seems NASA has debunked it and they parachutists themselves admit
it is a stone from the parachute, which I said from moment one.

Well one of the parachutists seems to think someone at NASA did debunk it,
since they posted a thank you for the help thanking NASA. I guess they are
making that up too:)

So, if anything is possible, that shinning light on MARS is the Chinese
rover everyone thought landed on the moon!

List,
You can get to that paper (Gladman on
Mercurian ejecta) at the following URL:

Gladman is also the author of a similar
study on Martian and Lunar ejecta:

The apparent trajectory, size, shape, and albedo are all reasonable for
a meteorite. More importantly, none of the physical parameters are
inconsistent with a meteorite, so the hypothesis remains valid, simply
very unlikely.

NASA has not debunked it. And the parachutists have only determined a
plausible way that a small rock could have ended up in the parachute.
As I said, the meteorite hypothesis has not been disproved, only
relegated to a sufficiently small likelihood that further investigation
is probably unwar
The thing I find most telling that it was a faked event or a rock fell out
of the plane, is that everything I know about people who jump out of
airplanes pack their own parachutes. I seriously doubt anyone would
accidentally pack a rock into their chute... just my opinion as I have never

Based on what?

I've said all along it was something other than a meteoroid. I would
have thought one of these
math/engineering gurus would have published something about it but
nothing. I have yet see an article that I feel is credible on the subject.

This refers to modeling, not actual observations. Gladman and Coffey (2009)
MPS 44, 285-291 calculated that Mercury ejecta could achieve independent
orbits and re-accrete to Mercury after several million years.

Alan, You said;
"Interestingly, some studies have
concluded that rocks blasted off of Mercury spend millions of years in
independent heliocentric orbits before accreting once again with Mercury."
How did our probes reveal enough data to reach such a conclusion?
Thanks,

Well I was maybe excited for nothing.. this is probably a hoax. The
photo they used to show the meteorite is also found in an article
about antartic meteorites dated back in 2013:
