Hello George and List... AND Actual Hunters on the ground,
George, I am sure we will all be positively surprised by findings within a
few days! I have confidence in such a group effort that was/will/is
happening to make this statement a reality!!!
Good luck to the boots on the ground!
Btw, so any pics from the "OK Dinner" photo op?! :)
Best Regards,
Greg

Dear List,
We have a major green fireball event with fragmentation:

This put rocks on the ground!

The more reports on this event I read on this website, the more I'm
convinced that no meteorites made it to the ground. A couple reports state
that
it "Streaked to the ground". A couple more stated it lasted about 3
seconds...a rather short period for a meteorite dropping meteor. Some
reports are
at 5 to 10 seconds. As an experienced meteor observer, I know for a fact
that for most casual meteor sightings, duration times are notoriously longer
than they really are. No serious reports about sonic booms also. This all
sounds more like a fragile cometary object to me. They aren't known as
meteorite droppers. As for the green color being reported, I wouldn't
give
that any meaning for the case of dropped meteorites or not. At the cost of
gas
nowadays, I wouldn't waste any time driving out to any proposed landing
sites unless I just happened to live in the area.
