Here is the summary: 1) No meteorites were discovered. 2) Currently authorities seems to be satisfied that it was not a missile, and are not interested to investigate further. 2) A witness in a village Khoroshee (alleged place of the fall) who saw the luminous event describes it and accompanying phenomenon so intriguing, that currently I prefer to abstain going into details, before more investigation will be done. Several Ukranean science-associated officials, mass-media and me decided to try conduct further investigation of the event, until we could understand what it was.

[meteorite-list] What an evening
What an evening with Mr. Rob Elliott from feranlea Meteorites. For 5 hours last night we drank lots of beer,sold, traded and bought meteorites. This man is so smart when it comes to meteorites. He blow me away with his vast expertice. Also Steve Witt from Indiana came up to be with us. It was so nice to meet this fine gentleman. We just sat and talked everything meteoritcal for 5 hours before last call and we were the last ones there. My wife even called looking for me. It was after midnight, so we could have gone all night with meteorites. just talking the night away and drinking lots of beer. Man can Rob put them down. Rob is one classy guy. Ijust want to thank him for coming to our great city and I hope he truly enjoys himself. Thanks again rob for a fun evening.

Sounds like you guys had a great time Steve Now, you need to try to schedule a trip to either the Denver show in September or the Tucson show in February. There are lots of good parties at these shows.

[meteorite-list] Astrophysicists Discover Possible Nanodiamond Formation In The Early Solar System
http://www.llnl.gov/llnl/06news/NewsReleases/2002/NR-02-07-04.html Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Contact: Anne Stark Phone:(925) 422-9799 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 11, 2002 NR-02-07-04 Astrophysicists Discover Possible Nanodiamond Formation In the Early Solar System LIVERMORE, Calif. -- An astrophysicist from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Institute for Geophysics and Planetary Physics has found that some nanodiamonds, the most famous and exotic form of stardust, may instead have formed within the inner solar system. The findings argue with the wide held belief that nanodiamonds recovered from meteorites from the asteroid belt have been the most abundant type of presolar stardust grain. IGPP Director John Bradley, in conjunction with scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Washington, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the Natural History Museum in London, report their discovery in today's edition of Nature. We presumed that if we studied (micro) meteorites (also known as interplanetary dust particles) from comets further out in our solar system, we would find more nanodiamonds, Bradley said. But we're just not seeing them. One theory is that some, perhaps most, nanodiamonds formed within the inner solar system and are not presolar at all. Interplanetary dust particles are collected in the stratosphere using NASA ER2 aircraft and they are made up of irregularly shaped grains of carbon and/or silicates. One origin of stardust is from supernovae, the cataclysmic deaths of a star. For more than 30 years, astrophysicists have looked to stardust, a sort of remnant of stars, to tell the story of our solar system's origins. But Bradley and the group of researchers report that at least some of the oldest cometary interplanetary dust particles contain little or no nanodiamond stardust at all. This raises all sorts of questions about the origins of our solar system, Bradley said. Our findings are consistent with recent research that has detected nanodiamonds within the accretion discs of other young stars that are similar to our early solar system. The group concludes that an alternative explanation for the lack of nanondiamonds in the early meteorites is that all meteoritic nanodiamonds are presolar, but that their abundance decreases the further they are from the sun. In that case, our understanding of large-scale transport and circulation within the early solar system is incomplete.

[meteorite-list] Paypal and Ebay
Here is a letter posted to the paypal website Letter from the PayPal Team Dear PayPal Member, As you may have heard, PayPal recently agreed to be acquired by eBay. Both companies share a common goal -- to enable PayPal members and eBay users to transact with greater ease, speed and safety -- and we look forward to working with eBay to achieve this goal. Still the Same PayPal When the acquisition is finalized later this year, the PayPal brand and website will remain distinct from eBay's, and PayPal will be run as an independent unit by the same team that's working here today. PayPal will also continue to offer a wide variety of non-auction services, including our Web Accept tools that let sellers accept payments directly from a website. And eBay has said that at this time they do not plan to raise fees for either PayPal or eBay. Exciting Improvements eBay's purchase of PayPal does mean that we'll be able to pursue some exciting improvements. Once the acquisition is completed, PayPal will be fully integrated into eBay's website, making it even easier for you to use PayPal to collect payments for your eBay auctions. And PayPal's commitment to rapidly developing new, innovative features isn't going to change. In the months to come you'll see many major new features from us, including: Transactions in Multiple Currencies Enhancements to our Shipping service Additional tools for collecting auction payments We believe that our acquisition by eBay will enable us to focus on building the best payment tools for you. Thanks to our Members We're excited that PayPal is joining the eBay family, and we hope you are, too.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Question
Rhett Bourland wrote: On the lower end of the H chondrite values there is a very small bar on 15%. I was wondering if you could possibly tell me how many meteorites are represented by that bar and if there aren't too many which ones are they? Hello Rhett and Fayalists :-) In the lower left corner of that graph you find my name and the date when this graph was generated: October 23, 1994 so I think that the 4th edition of the Meteorite Catalogue, the Big Blue Book, was the basis for this graph. Presently there are six H chondrites with fayalite values ranging from 15 to 16 % fayalite. These include the following: NameClass Fell/Find YearFa XinyiH5 Find 1975 15 WillaroyH3 Find 197015 Grady (1937)H3.6Find 193715 Burnwell HFell 199015,8 DaG 385 H3-4Find 199715,9 Clipperton H3 Find 198615,9 The 1994 graph shows Xinyi, Willaroy, and Grady (1937). Dr. McCoy at the Smithsonian was talking about that meteorite having a Fa content of 15.8 +/- .2% and stated that the average Fa composition of H chondrites is only between 16.9-20.4%. Obviously there will be some meteorites within that class that are slightly above or below average so I was wondering about the ones that are a bit lower than that and any possible relationships they may have to Burnwell. Well, meanwhile there are actually H chondrites with even lower Fa values in my databases: NameClass Fell/Find YearFa C.los CalvosH4 Find198612,5 Suwahib H3.7Find193114,4 DaG 862 H3 Find199914,4 As for the US Antarctic H chondrites, I have the following: NAMEDESIG FA FRO 95038 H4 14.7 FRO 95014 H4 14.8 ALH 77221 H4 15 EET 87553 H4 15 EET 87808 H4 15 ALH 84105 H6 15 EET 96037 H4 15 EET 96047 H4 15 GRV 99025 H5 15.6 This overview does not include ones with variable Fa values or ranges, especially the unequilibrated specimens.

As for the upper value of 20.4% fayalite, there are also some exceptions to the rule: NameClass Fa DaG 536 H6 21 Cleo SpringsH4 21 Oakley (stone) H6 21 Forrest 031 H4 21 Menindee L. 002 H5 21,1 Glenrothes H5 21,4 Acfer 316 H6 21,4 Dhofar 063 H5 21,4 Oviedo H5 25 US Antarctica: FRO 90081 H6 21.4 FRO 90131 H4 21.2 Best wishes, Bernd __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] How many Meteorites ?.
Hello everyone. 1. Since the beginning of time, about how many layers of earth, from the bottom to the top is there ( Ball Park )?. 2. How many Meteorites ( Ball Park ) would be in each layer ?. 3. Would it be better to look in areas that were ancient sea's, or large land masses ?. 4. Finally, which type of Meteorite would last the longest, buried for all this time ? .
