[meteorite-list] BOLIDE EVENT IN VA

[Greg Redfern via Meteorite-list]

There are audio clips, GOES-16 EAST imagery, and one fireball report to AMS
to support a probable bolide event at approximately 1023 this morning in
the vicinity of Front Royal - Luray - Buckingham County Virginia. Cloudy
weather hampered additional sightings.

Awaiting response from FAA as to radar track data.

I am sure there are rocks on the surface/in the ocean somewhere.

[meteorite-list] Costa Rica Fall Blog Piece

[Greg Redfern via Meteorite-list]

All,

*Enjoywhat a FALL*

!

The spectra of AGUAS ZARCAS (interim title pre-classification)
MATCHES *MURCHISON
*!

WOW OH WOW!

What treasures will be found in the interior of this very probable (99.9+%
certain) CM fall AND the probable determination of its orbit due to all of
volcano camera footage that exists.

This will be one to watch and BUY if you can.

Mike Farmer may have some left and reportedly Robert Ward is sold out, but
check.

[meteorite-list] Fwd: 1/17/18 Bolide-Seismic Event

[Greg Redfern via Meteorite-list]

Dear List,

Thought I would share this info from Dr. Larry Ruff, University of Michigan.

Greg Redfern

WTOP 


Dear Greg,
I'll try to provide some quick responses to your questions:

"Is that due to the proximity of the bolide to the seismic monitoring
station(s) or some other factor? How many have you seen?"

Yes, it is the combination of proximity & event size that makes the
largest wave amplitudes.
Over the years, this is the ONLY clear meteor-generated waves that
I've seen at Ann Arbor.
IN the past I have looked for waves at Ann Arbor from 2 large sonic
booms (one over Lake
Michigan, the other over Ohio), but did not found any waves above noise
level.

"Also, is there any way to correlate the USGS Magnitude 2.0 assessment
to the amount of kinetic energy released in the form of the acoustic
waves from this bolide event?"

Very difficult and tricky. The magnitude scale was developed for
seismic waves from
earthquakes, and the wave characteristics are quite different from an
atmospheric event.
Previous scientific work shows that there is fairly weak coupling from
air waves to seismic
waves, so any energy connection is poorly determined.

"Finally, is U-M mounting an information campaign to educate the
public on what to look for in terms of new meteorites."

As I far as I know, there is no public educational campaign today, but
there are a few faculty
who want to go find some meteorites if they can get a more precise
location for the debris.

regards, Larry Ruff

[meteorite-list] Seismic Event w/ Bolide?

[Greg Redfern via Meteorite-list]

List,

Has there been other bolide events that have had a seismic correlation? It
is being reported that USGS recorded a 2.0 magnitude seismic event with
this morning's Michigan et al bolide event.

I would think that would have to equate to enough kinetic energy upon
impact of the main body to create a crater of some size.

Thoughts from experts like Mr. Matson ;-)

Thanks.

[meteorite-list] DMV FIREBALL ALERT

[Greg Redfern via Meteorite-list]

A  BRIGHT (-8+ magnitude) greenish-white fireball was seen in the SE from
Central VA at 8:55 pm EDT. There w two terminal bursts (no sound)  at the
end of flight that probably resulted in meteorites on the ground or in the
Atlantic. The fireball passed below Mars and was heading in a diagonal
downward direction to the horizon.I'll gather more details for my official
report.

Please tell anyone who saw it to report their observations to American
Meteor Society. 

I'd appreciate any reports as well.

Re: [meteorite-list] {MPML} Re: Meteorite death?

[Greg Redfern via Meteorite-list]

A dynamite detonation is far more plausible than the information/images in
the media that claim it was a meteorite.

The local law enforcement officials should be conducting a full fledged
death investigation to include autopsy of the victim, medical examination
of those injured, forensic examination of the shattered windows, crater and
any other visible damage. Witness interviews apparently have been obtained.

If done properly this will put this episode of meteorite blame to rest.

Best to all,

Greg Redfern

Doesn't add up Mike. For the amount of damage and injuries reported it
would have been quite the sky show. I would like to know the proximity of
the injured to the alleged victim and damage to the buses. Sounds much more
like a bomb blast or explosion than an impact.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Strikes Down Thief During Armed Robbery

[Greg Redfern via Meteorite-list]

From a forensics POV it is hard to believe that the meteorite would
have had sufficient velocity/energy remaining after impacting and
going through the roof to cause the injuries described……very hard to
believe.

 Meteorite Strikes Down Thief During Armed Robbery

 A burglary ended in a very sudden and unexpected way yesterday, in
 Orange County, when a gang member was killed by a falling meteorite
 debris while he was holding three people at gunpoint in a Santa Ana
 residence.

 The criminal, Juan Pedro Sancho Jiménez, had just broken into a house
 in the Eastside area of Santa Ana, when a meteorite  fragment weighting
 almost ½ pound pierced through the roof of the residence and hit him on
 the top of the head. The well-known gang member who had already spent
 eleven years in jail for sexual assault and armed robbery, was killed
 almost instantly as the meteorite passed through his skull, destroyed
 his spine and continued its way through many of his vital organs.

 Officers from the Orange County Sheriff Department arrived on the site
 only a few minutes after the incident, but the assailant was already
 dead.

Re: [meteorite-list] Top 10 Biggest Meteor Strikes in History

[Greg Redfern via Meteorite-list]

All,

CBIC has an asterisk next to it on that database as to its size. USGS
still reports the size as ~53 miles or near the size of Popigai which
MAY be related to the CBIC impact as their ages are geologically
similar.

 the Nördlinger Ries Crater measures 22 x 24 km, the impactor was about
 1 km in diameter - should be a candidat too.

 Top 10 Biggest Meteor Strikes in History

 Top 10 Biggest Meteor Strikes in History

 Our beloved blue planet gets pelted with debris from space all the
 time but, since most of it burns up or break apart in the atmosphere,
 it's usually not a problem. Even when one does make it to the ground,
 they are rarely much larger than a small rock, minimizing the damage
 they're capable of inflicting.

 Then, of course, there is that once-in-an-eon occasion where
 something very very large makes it through intact, and this can
 really do some damage. Fortunately, such hits are extremely rare, but
 they are worth noting, if only to serve as reminders of the power of
 the stars to undo the normal routine here on Earth, with little more than a 
 few minutes'
 warning. So where — and when — did these monsters hit? Let's take a
 look at the geological records, and see.

All,

With record rainfall the ground cover in VA is VERY heavy. Be very
difficult to search w/o a detector.

Look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with as to position. May
be able to go looking myself.
