Good stuff, here:
http://cbs2.com/kent_blog/local_blogentry_099101321.html Mystery Space Junk, Identified! Apr 9, 2007 7:08 am It's the kind of follow-up you always want to hear about, but rarely do. You know; "Whatever happened to those drivers in a high-speed chase?," --or-- "That mystery chunk that fell from the sky, where did it come from?" Let's tackle the mystery chunk that crashed into the couple's bedroom in Ilinois: had to be a meteorite, right? A nearby geology professor even said so. (Well not so fast, Heavy Metal-breath.) That same specialist now says... "Just a minute." No, now he thinks that spam-sized metal thingy shot in from a grinding machine at a recycling plant, a couple blocks away. I don't know which worries me more: that an expert analyst can't tell the difference between stainless steel and -- you know, Jupiter -- or that folks live 3- football fields from an artillary launcher, apparently pointed at them. That's no good: unless it stopped the driver in a chase. (I wonder whatever happens to those guys anyway.) ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
