[Resending from home computer; apologies if you ~eventually~ receive this post twice.] Hi All, This Lorton, Virginia, fall is just miles from where I grew up in Springfield, VA! I checked Doppler radar, and sure enough it shows up! It's visible in the Sterling, VA, radar (KLWX) during the cycle that begins at 22:37:22. It's visible in the 3.51-degree and 4.47-degree cut angles, which occur a little less than 90 seconds apart, late in the ~10-minute cycle from 22:37:22 - 22:47:06. In those 90 seconds, the dust cloud has moved noticeably to the east, and both positions are due east of Lorton by an amount that is an excellent match for a fall occurring at 22:38 GMT (5:38pm EST). This is the seventh successfully recovered fall for which I've found matching NEXRAD Doppler radar images. --Rob ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
