Ron Baalke quoted an Indian newspaper: > Meteor causes panic in Orissa > Chandigarh Tribune (India) > September 27, 2003
> Remnants of the fireball had landed in a village under the Kaptipada police > station in Mayurbhanj district starting a fire there...... > A report from Baripada said people saw two fireballs landing in Sudsudia > village under the Kaptipada police station setting ablaze a thatched house... Be that "true" or not, this could be more "oil on the lamps" of those who support the hot-meteorites theory (...for the impact part, that is). Apart from stories about fires: if this really was a meteorite that made it to earth, it will be quite a tough one to get some of it into private collections. P.S.: could it have been a decaying satellite? I don�t have the update files for the day this happened in India, but may be Rob Matson has - who else, if not him? :-) Alex Berlin/Stade, Germany -- ===================|================================| Alexander Seidel | Home position on planet Earth: | Dankersstrasse 22 | N53.5918 E9.4670 13m (WGS84) | D-21680 Stade | -------------------------------| Germany | Phone and Fax (+49) 4141 68772 | ===================|================================| ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
