The green and gold flecked charcoal-colored stone was too hot to
handle, he said. So he let it cool, then stored it in a drawer.
Hmmm Case closed I'd say ..

On the other hand, it did detonate with a blue light,
which is unusual for orbital junk. A residual fuel
explosion? North Korea's satellite?

Most of the heat of ablation is carried away from the meteoroid. A tiny

only undergone ablation for a fraction of a second (otherwise

A small meteorite acquires its fusion crust in the fraction of a second
after a larger parent body fragments at high altitude. It almost immediately
loses any forward speed, and simply falls at terminal velocity. For a
spherical 50g stone that is about 50 m/s. That's in the same range as a

an LL stone is about 3.21 grams per cm cubed...that works out to about 1
pound for just a 1 cm slice of your 30 cm meteorite, is that not correct?
And anything moving at 50 m/s weighing a pound can sure crush a skull if I'm
not mistaken.

Sorry, that should have been 30 mm, not cm. It was previously suggested that

50-100 m/s!

Thats about as big as mine. If you were in Tucson this year there was a guy
selling large specimens. Many of them.
I know Mike Farmer picked up a bag of them like maybe 300 grams for like
$900 bucks maybe at Michael Bloods auction in 2004.
That was a great place to be if you wanted Tatahouine.
oh yeah! big difference!

It is certainly possible to devise entry scenarios where meteorites have
unusually large velocities. But I'd maintain these are rare cases, and a
fall such as I described (and the Noblesville) would be far more common. And
even in the case of the two Wethersfield falls, I'm not sure we can
