Hi Mike!
Any post that gets folks in a frenzy. However, this was response to Ruben.

Hey Jim just curious are you referring to my post here?
When I hear about possible rocks on the ground without basis, it bugs

I never said there were stones on the ground...I never said anything

opinion there is no greater rush than someone finding their first

Ground level sonics are a very good indicator that meteorites were
produced. However, the absence of sonics doesn't argue against
meteorites at all.
In all likelihood, the majority of meteorite falls are not preceded with

Thanks Chris,
Couldn't have said it better!
Maybe the Guru's of Doppler (Fries and Matson) can give us a little
better insight as to whether we go or stay this time.

Hello,
Regarding this comment In all likelihood, the majority of meteorite
falls are not preceded with
either a significant fireball nor any acoustics.
I think the majority of meteorite falls that produce finds will
exhibit these features based on the meteorite books I have read from
Nininger
The majority that produce _falls_, yes, but not _finds_, I think. That
is, your typical find (either a single individual or several pieces)
probably didn't come from a spectacular meteor event. Of course, finds
in large strewn fields are a different matter.

Not that big of an event!

for a hunt.

Hello Listers
I found some info on the fall and here is some stats...
vel 667.2 km/s beg 135.8 km end 40.8 km
Now could a meteorite come from the Vel speed? I mean thats really fast
667.2km, or that could be a mistake, which I think it is? With the
meteor ending at 40km there is a possibility
There is almost no possibility of a meteor having that speed. The
maximum possible velocity a body in orbit around the Sun can encounter
the Earth at is 72 km/s. Anything faster than that would exceed the
solar escape velocity, implying either some sort of slingshot orbit or a
body originating
Hi Shawn, This is a fairly normal event. Nothing much to get excited
about. The calculation is an error.If the 40.8km is the burn out I
doubt anyone will waste much time on this one.
No sonic reports to speak of and that is also not a good sign. The UT is
questionable too!

Hi all,
Jim it's pretty much the same with any meteor event. The truth is
unless we have good Doppler information or someone personally
witnessed a meteorite strike a house or a car, or there is a stone
found - there's not much reason to waste time looking.
Most people (me included) thought the

For what it's worth, I heard what sounded like distant thunder last
night at about the right time. This from
Hi Greg,
It wouldn't be the first time a meteor event ended in a restricted
zone. I didn't participate, but ask anyone that went looking near
Dugway in Utah. If it landed in White Sands it may as well landed in
the ocean...it's gone.

Hi Ruben,
I think Whetstone had far greater evidence of there being stones on the
ground if I remember correctly.
Didn't Jack find one very shortly after the fall? There were multiple
camera captures, sonics and witnesses, both visual and audible.
The sonics I refer to do include human
Hello Lister
Whetstone did have a lot of evidence and a video, which this fall that
happened yesterday has video as well. My question is the fireball went
out around 40km, that some what high, but you never know till some finds
a stone like Ruben said or if someone can find some bounce back on
Hi all,
Here's the first bits of NEWS that may turn into something big.
Channel 12 NEWS in Phoenix is reporting this on their Facebook page.

If this dropped stones on New Mexico, you know where to bring them!

Hi Carl,
If someone reports a meteorite in their living room tomorrow morning
expect me at your office on Monday... : )
This camera (run by NASA) located at NMSU captured some video.
