Ok, here is a good starting discussion topic for this meteorite fall. We had people in two of the four homes hit who picked up the meteorites within seconds of the impact. Cali#003 and Cali#004. Both people said that the pieces were very cold, so cold they quickly put them down. These people live near the equator, so the meteorites must have been quite cold. How many other meteorites have been reported to be very cold? I know that Hvittis and St Michel if I recall were said to have frost on them almost immediately after the fall, is that correct? Michael
hmm, I think they was cold becouse of falling down from higher layers of atmosphere (dark flight) than becouse they still own a cold from space. While this small specimens divide from a bolide they still got time to form good crust so they must be hot or even little warm. Then they stop forming crust and start this "dark flight" from a altitude of 20-30? km and there are alvays extremely cold. If we add to this freeze wind factor we get very cold meteorite. Also if there was for example +30*C in Cali then even 0*C stone will be "very cold" to person.
Im thinking correct ?
