Look at the times in the video frames: I can't read the times in the early
frames with the object quite well, but it appears this object was visible for at
least an hour. Remember it is a time lapse sequence, not a true real-time movie!
This is much too long for a fireball.
Frankly, I think

I can't really make out the times very clearly. I wasn't sure if this
was true timelapse, or triggered timelapse. In the former case, it
obviously isn't a meteor of course. Good point about the Moon, which was
setting about that time just north of west. The green color is kind of
interesting.
Hi list,
I am currently trying to write an article which demolishes certain
myths about meteorites.
One of these - I assume it is a myth - is the idea that most
meteorites fall at 3:00pm.
I have no idea where this comes from, but I also have no statistics to
demonstrate it to be false. Could
Hi list,
While I am writing an article to demolish certain myths about
meteorites, I have come across the idea that major falls (large
objects) usually occur in February or late Spring.
While I doubt this is true, I have no statistics to prove it, similar
to the 3:00 pm idea.
Anyone able to

Chris,
That probably is a myth (I've never heard that one), at least to some
extent, but there is a thread of truth in it. It is far likelier that
material falling after noon and before midnight, local time, will survive
passage through the atmosphere. This has to do with entry speeds, and when

I think you are largely correct that the safety of people on the ground
is a minor component of the decision to fragment this satellite. That
said, however, the behavior of decaying space debris isn't all that
different from the behavior of a meteor. Just as the interior of a
meteorite isn't
Hi Martin,
I have access to the database here

Hi Chris and List,
Attached you'll find two of my Powerpoint slides. They may be of
interest to you. Even though they date back to the 90's, they give a
fairly accurate picture (a statistical overview) of the frequency of
(observed) fall times and why more meteorite falls have been observed

I#39;m wondering if they could be pulling a scam; have someone they know(or
part of the same company) since they bid with name withheld.
If no one else bids then they loose nothing, if the do then they got a sale.
Why can#39;t ebay do something about this. I guess it#39;s not in their
Many thanks Bernd,
But I can't find a single programme to open these Powerpoint slides.
It seems they are earlier versions than anything I have can handle.
If anyone can convert one for me to a later format I'd love to see them.
Thanks!

Hi all,
Someone (or maybe one of the articles) said that the missle didn't have a
war-head so there wouldn't be an explosion, but what if the missle hits the
hydrazine tank? Would that cause an explosion?
