[meteorite-list] Nakhla impact angle

Here's the entry angle of Nakhla as reported by John Ball in 1912: The direction of approach of the object was from the northwest, and its track, marked by a column of white smoke, is said to have been inclined only some 30 degrees to the horizontal. Its *TRACK*, not its impact angle.

Nakhla did leave holes in the ground inclined to the vertical. I have no problem with this statement. It was the claim that they impacted at an angle of 30 degrees from horizontal that I disputed. Best, Rob __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL
