Hi All, Regarding Ron's latest forwarded message about the Wales images:
> http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/mystery_monday_031013.html Robert Nemiroff and Jerry Bonnell (the guys who run NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day website), shouldn't feel too bad about their premature assessment that Jonathan Burnett's image was of a bolide. Yes, they may have jumped the gun in the interest of getting the information out there quickly. But if it weren't for them I doubt that the picture would ever have reached the level of publicity that it did. And publicity was what was responsible for Julian Heywood coming forward with a second picture, which was critical to solving the mystery. Without that second image, I wouldn't have written my triangulation program and proven that the object was relatively low altitude. Triangulation allowed an approximate determination of the true direction of the contrail, and that contributed to forming the hypothesis that the Concorde was the source of that contrail.
