Hi John, Rob, and List,
Spent all day today at a Seafood festival. I
discovered I hate crab stew.
>Very cool
I agree, John! Nice complement to the
peekskill avi video!
>It sounded like an L3 to me.
Ha, very good! Nice to see humor has not died
out on the list (though the odds favor a 5 or 6 :-)

Hi List,
when I returned from the States on
Thursday evening, there was a package waiting for me containing an audio
tape of the Bovedy meteorite fall. It's pretty cool, so I thought you might
want to hear it for yourselves.
It was recorded on 25th April 1969, in
County Londonderry, Northern Ireland - a woman was recording bird song just
as the 5.4kg Bovedy (L3) meteorite fell, and she caught the detonations
through her microphone. The booms and rumblings echo around for several
seconds after the first detonation, and a spooked dog starts to bark soon
after (the Bovedy Dog??).
The fun starts at around 34 seconds into
the track, which you can download
at

It's always nice to see
what caused it, so here's a picture of my Bovedy
slice

Thanks to Derek Heatly
and the Planetarium for the original recording!
Cheers,
Rob
Elliott.
