Hi Bob. It could very well be, but then the meteorite... it should seem,
would have to be a carbonaceous chondrite, since the Orionids are remnants
of Halley's Comet! Last I knew all comets are usually composed of
carbonaceous chondrite material. As far as the date being the 17th, the
Orionids have a longer period of meteor shower then most other meteor
showers. That means the Orionids can last several weeks BUT the peak of the
Orionid shower falls around Oct. 20-21. This peak is where
scientists/astronomers have calculated where the Earth's orbit comes into
the path of the most debris left by Halley's comet. Also remember that the
debris path with Halley's comet covers a long wide swath in the solar
system, thus the longer length in time of meteor shower. Hope this helps or
clears it up some.

Orioniddescription?
Hi everyone,
Anyone know why the reports are quoting Dr. Jenniskens as saying that
the meteorite is from the Orionid meteor shower? If this is the Oct.
17 bolide, it was not an Orionid.
Thanks,
Bob
