Not likely you need a geiger counter. It is a normal Soyuz rocket stage. Place, track and time closely coincide with the predicted re-entry of a stage of the Soyuz rocket (06-063B, #29679) used to launch the French COROT space telescope on December 27th from Baikonur. The sighting is only a few minutes later than the nominal predicted decay time, and at the correct geographic location and direction of movement from the last know orbit for this object. The slow movement on the video (assuming the video was real speed) corroborates it was this decay rather than a meteor. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek Dutch Meteor Society (DMS) e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.dmsweb.org priv. website: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek ----- ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
