Hi all, I disagree. If it hit a maple tree first and then landed on the doormat, it cannot be considered a hammer. Maple trees are not man-made, even if you plant it yourself. Sorry. ;-) But that was a great story anyway, Larry! Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If, as stated, even if it struck a tree first it landed on a welcome mat of its own momentum, there is a strong argument for calling it a hammer. As such, while I might not offer it for sale as a hammer, I would like a piece of it for my own hammer collection. Sincerely, Michael Blood on

G'day Bernd all I thought of it from the point of view that it can take quite some time between the meteor burning out to it hitting the ground due to the distance (kms) it must travel. Maybe someone could correct me if I'm wrong here. Cheers, Jeff - Original Message - From:

Hi Bernd- Having taken literally thousands of fireball reports, I'll observe that very few people can accurately estimate the time between a flash and subsequent sonic boom. For a single event, different witnesses will- with absolute confidence- give times ranging from a few seconds to many
