Hi!
Nice picture effect. Wish I thought of that. I only made some analyses on the
streaked frame and fast switching between pre-streak-post.
I don't think it's a meteorite but it would be fun to find out what it is.
When I saw the 37 pages on the discussion board I didn't bother read them,
but
Folks hereabouts on the List seem to like the Bug theory. Too bad.
There
are lots of reasons why the bug theory is wrong, but here's the most
concise
one. In the frame that shows the terminal flash (which, in the bug
theory,
is the bug itself only inches away from the camera and caught

Hi,
At the moment I start to write this, there are 37 PAGES on the
official
discussion site for the mystery photo, and I've read ALL of them. A great
deal
of it is waste because most posters are not reading the other posts and
seem
to be unaware

Hi Marcin,
This series of photos made the rounds a few weeks ago -- it definitely
is not a meteorite fall. Simplest reason: it doesn't fall vertically.

Nevertheless, I don't think it is a meteorite. Probably just a bug
that flew in front of the camera. That would explain the bluriness
in the trail. And the 'explosion' would be an overexposure of the bug
from the camera flash.

The Peekskill fall is not difficult to model. The recovered piece was
falling nearly vertically at the end. It traveled 50 km after the end of
ablation because at that point its path was nearly horizontal, and it was
still at about 3 km/s. But that forward velocity was quickly lost to

The angle observed for the fireball trajectory is largely unrelated to the
angle the meteorite will strike the ground. It is perfectly possible for the
impact angle of a meteorite to be in the opposite direction of the entry
angle, since the final angle is determined primarily by wind.
I would argue that determining the angle of a fall from the sort of dent it
makes in a car is far from a precise science! To my own eye, the dent in the
Peekskill car appears to have been made by something striking largely from
above, not at any sort of shallow angle.
Peekskill was more

Peekskill was only traveling 70 or 80 m/s at impact. I would fully expect it
to be deflected by the structure of the car. The relative positions of the
exit and entry wounds are probably a poor indicator of the impact angle. The
way that the metal of the trunk is folded makes me think that

Here's a picture of the car with a familiar face. This is something very
rare folks...when was the last time you saw Al smiling;-)
