Pretty good production work (I saw Star Wars one time, and thoroughly enjoyed the epic award-winning animation "Bolt" (you've all gotta see it...its great!)...yet soooo many posts I'm not going to wade through them all.

Meteorite in the room question (which probably has already been posted): what happened to the stone? If I'm Mr. Skydiver Guy, I'd follow it.

Just sayin'

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Norwegian skydiver nearly struck by meteorite

The internet is filled with production quality fake videos and stunts. Anyone with a $2000 Mac and a go-pro and some editing software can work magic these days. Why is this one any more believable than the kid who said he had his head cut by a meteorite? The news eats this crap up as fast as it can, yet when real meteorites fall, usually zero interest.

I would be more impressed if a scuba diver was struck by a meteorite.  ;)

Yes, although with his shoot deployed, he's probably traveling fairly
slowly with respect to terminal velocity.

I'd put the terminal velocity for a stone of that apparent size between
50

end given the tumbling).

The sky divers are falling, so the relative speed between them and the
rock would be even less than the rock's terminal velocity.

Michael in so. Cal.
