That is interesting because the direction you noted is perpendicular to what the DOD satellite saw. Your distribution ellipse is based on actual finds, so combined with the DOD data, this indicates that the Park Forest strewnfield is actually larger than orginally thought, and many of the meteorite fragments have not been recovered, including some of the larger fragments. It would be interesting to try to figure out how much your strewnfield ellipse overlaps with the DOD ellipse. The larger pieces would tend to fall downstream on the far end of the ellipse, or some kilometers northeast of the coordinate given in the DOD report (41.56 North latitude, 87.67 West longitude). Incidently, how far is this position from Park Forest and Beecher?
