Hey Guys, I got this lead last week:
Mike, I was reading the Lancaster paper tonight and saw about the meteorite-I think this clears something up for me- I am in New Holland, Pa on the early morning of July 6th, I couldnt sleep and was watching tv- all the sudden I heard a huge bang right outside my 2nd story bedroom( scared the living outta me. I peeked out and didnt see anything, I thought at the time someone must have thrown a m-80 or something at my window-upon inspecting better in the morning there is a huge dent on the top of my patio roof with black splat marks, right underneath my bedroom window-it also left a couple holes. I looked around on the ground to see if I could see anything there, but now i will have to check a little harder, after seeing your pic in the paper. But I am sure now that is what it was, because my house does not have easy access to my back yard-Thanks for the article but I think you need to be looking north of intercourse-Jeane I went out to her house last Thursday and Friday and again tonight. I got on the top of the main roof tonight and saw what could be more damage (but could also be nothing)... I ran an earth magnet through the dirty in the flower beds near her porch... I got a lot of hits, there is a lot of metal in the ground. I've posted pics and a full a report on my site: http://www.mikesastrophotos.com/baltimore-pa-meteor/great-lead-dead-end/ I feel like this is a really great lead, but I've done just about all I can do and I'm still coming up empty. I have gotten some feedback that suggests the dent in the roof does not look like a meteorite-dent. Any suggestions are much appreciated, I'm really stumped on this and don't know what I should do next. Thanks, Mike P.S. For what its worth, Jeane lives a couple miles away from Blue Ball, PA (which is pretty much what i got searching for meteorites at her house). ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
