Hi All, Been gone skiing in Aspen since Thanksgiving, but I see the list was very quiet while I was away, so for once it didn't take three hours of reading to catch up. Couple things to report: while flying from Aspen to Phoenix, we flew just east of Meteor Crater so I was able to get a few good aerial pictures -- at least I hope they turn out okay. Will post a link once I get the film (yes "film" -- still no digital camera!) developed.
I was ready with my camera to shoot the crater only because we had passed just east of it on our outgoing flight. There was one difference flying back yesterday, however. Fires. Many of them. At least 4 separate fires burning to the southwest of the crater and east of Flagstaff. The smoke was blowing toward Phoenix. Looked like it was west of where the bad fires burned (last year?) in Show Low. Haven't heard anything on the news about these latest fires, but I'll be doing a CNN search next. I have a bright, fragmenting fireball report to post in my next message. Actually, I'm surprised no one from southern California has reported it -- it occurred at 6:41pm PST on Thanksgiving... --Rob ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
