Re: [meteorite-list] Anyone visit the NJO today?
I am not convinced, lets see a test for nickel and one for irridium. Then let's get a meteorite lab to look it over. I have geology background thus, I cancel out one geologist's vote it is a meteorite.. It may be space junk but I go back to the young man living at the house and having too much time on his hands.

Re: [meteorite-list] Anyone visit the NJO today?
Hello Sterling, All, I've seen many fresh irons, and this does not look like one in the least, save the fact that it's not rusty. It appears to be rough and gouged in many places. Assuming that it's a meteorite, we're either dealing with a late explosive breakup or shrapnel from a crater. There is no evidence for either of these. I said that it wasn't a meteorite before. I stand by that statement. Regards, Jason On 1/28/07, Sterling K.

Re: [meteorite-list] Anyone visit the NJO today?
I did. It is very hard to judge from pictures. Now that I looked at it in person, I'm about 75% sure it's space junk and not a meteorite. If anybody wants me to post the picts that I took of the object, I will.
