Re: [meteorite-list] What Happens If China Makes First Contact?

[Sterling K. Webb via Meteorite-list]

Alfredo, Paul, List,
 
I can suggest two recent 
(within a few decades) books 
on the whole question of 
Extraterrestial contact:
 
"If the Universe is Teeming 
With Aliens, Where Is Every-
body?" (2002) by Stephen 
Webb, presents in detail the 
arguments for 50 different 
explanations for the apparent 
lack of evidence for aliens 
everywhere (or anywhere).

He has a website: 


A history of recent searches 
and searchers is: "Five Billion 
Years of Solitude: The Search 
for Life Among the Stars," by 
Lee Billings" (2013).

Even that title seems mournful 
to me...

Let's hope that no one ever makes contact, because it would be a disaster
for one of the parties, us or them. In first contacts between cultures, the
less developed one is usually destroyed, if not by violence then by
inferiority complexes, addictions and other mental issues. Making contact
with an alien culture that is just coincidentally at the same technological
level as us would be so improbable as to be in the realm of religious hope
rather than reality.

Re: [meteorite-list] Bishopville aubrite

[Frank Cressy via Meteorite-list]

Hi Peter,
Found a couple of instances where meteorites may have been recovered by slaves. 
 
Richmond, Virginia fell in 1828 and most probably was recovered by slaves. "An 
overseer and several negroes were at work..."  "The persons hastened toward the 
place...and after considerable search. found a hole in the turf..."  "They dug 
and got the stone..."
Forsyth, Georgia fell in 1829 and may have been recovered by slaves.  
Concerning the fall circumstances, it was written that "This extraordinary 
noise was on the same evening accounted for by Mr. Sparks and Captain Postian, 
who happened to be near some Negros working in a field 1 mile south of this 
place, who discovered a large stone descending through the air..." 
As a plug, I'll note that these accounts were taken from my book, "From Weston 
to Creston - A Compendium an Witnessed US Meteorite Falls - 1807 to 2016"  
Books still available ;-)
All the best,
Frank
