Hi Rob, Mike, Dirk and all, As they say...."with all due respect"....to those of you with vastly more experience than I in the subject....these old eyes and the brain they are attached to have digested the visual data, then thought out the technical complexities involved in producing a series of multiple fakes while estimating the cost in time and money that would be involved and finally, pondered why anyone would spend that time and treasure....and for what possible purpose. Conclusion? The San Luis Potosi bolide and its history so stunningly recorded are the "real deal".
Thanks again, Dirk Count Deiro IMCA 3536 -----Original Message----- >From: "Matson, Robert D." <robert.d.mat...@saic.com> >Sent: Sep 4, 2013 6:54 PM >To: Michael Farmer <m...@meteoriteguy.com>, drtanuki <drtan...@yahoo.com> >Cc: meteorite-list <meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> >Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Fw: Video 5 of SLP, MX Bolide now posted! >Another spectacular video. > >Hi Mike, > >The biggest problem as I see it is the reported time -- some time after 5 pm >local time.
