Good Afternoon List,
Several days ago the topic was bantered about finding meteorites possibly by
thermal imaging -- in sand dunes. I have searched dry lake beds with some
success, and a few blow-out areas. However, living in Illinois, it takes time
and expenses to travel to Nevada, New

Ok,
A little more on my
idea of how to search for meteorites in relatively high contrast, low
noiseareas like sand dunes. I realize that they won't be as easy to
automatically recognize as a 10 foot diameter shinny black fusion crusted
meteorite in the middle of an Antarctic

Hi Dave and all,
I think that a number of people, myself and some of my friends who are also meteorite
aficionados, have not only thought of this but have hunted the dunes in Indiana and
Michigan. One word of caution though, the Gary Steel Mills has deposited both small
and larger flakes and
observation. I would be curious about its usefulness if anyone does try using an ultralight. Tom Kilcrease - Original Message - From: Robert Verish Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 2:41 AM To: Meteorite-list Meteoritecentral Subject: [meteorite-list] Sand Dunes and Meteorites A number of people

Dear All,
I have researched ultralight usage here in WY and at our high altitude (6,500-8,000'
in the dunes), the time when vital lift is favorable is during occurrences
of higher humidity like in the early morning and evening. Then, there are
days like yesterday when our winds here were over

wingspan on the other hand might work if the airspeed were
slow enough to allow detailed ground observation.
