[meteorite-list] Possible Ireland Meteorite Fall?

Hunt for meteorite that could be worth €100k
By Michael Lavery
Friday September 03 2010

THE HUNT is on for a meteorite that could be worth more than its
weight in gold.

A fireball blazed across the night sky on Wednesday, leading astronomy
experts to believe it came down somewhere here.

Astronomy Ireland chairman David Moore said the discovery of a
meteorite would be very rare -- only three meteorites have been found
in Ireland in the past 200 years.

A meteorite was last found in Ireland in 1999 when a Carlow woman
found a handful of shattered meteorite pieces on a country lane near
Leighlin Bridge.

The collector who bought the fragments valued them at €100,000.

Jammed

Astronomy Ireland says its switchboard has been jammed with calls from
members of the public who had witnessed the meteor shower.

It says it should be able to pinpoint its general location within a week.

The meteorite will stand out because it has a burnt, smooth
exterior, Mr Moore said.

People can pick it up. There is no kryptonite or any crazy substance
that would poison or radiate a person.

The group is urging those who saw the latest shower to visit
www.astronomy.ie and fill in a Fireball Report Form to allow experts
trace its path and identify possible landing sites.

Mike and List,

  Part of the news quote stated:

  substance that would poison or radiate a person.


  What!??? You mean I DON'T have to wear that heavy lead suit anymore whenever 
I hold a meteorite??? That's going to make things so much more comfortable! Why 
didn't someone tell us this before?

  But, Mike, seriously thanks for the post. I do hope pieces end up being 
found. I just couldn't resist commenting on that guy's statement.  

  Best wishes,
  Robert Woolard

2010-09-04 Thread Meteorites USA
That's some good news that we don't have to wear those heavy lead suits 
anymore... ;) This is especially wonderful when you walk 10-20 miles a 
day in the 110 degree desert heat.


Many people mistakenly think meteorites are radioactive. It's one of the 
more common misconceptions, and a question we all get from new meteorite 
enthusiasts and curios types.


I hope this is Ireland's newest meteorite fall!

  As for the Ireland reported meteorite fall... one year ago almost to the day 
the same story floated around the Irish news Draw your own conclusions.  
BTW, there is a company called Meteor communications that likes free 
advertisement.

Hi Dirk and all,

btw. the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin has a good meteorite collection -
and they do really a lot for education and public outreach.

For example the lectures: Mad about Meteorites

http://www.astronomy.ie/lecture200908.html

That lecture is also available on DVD, if you want to add it to your collection
(7€ are 9$)
Uuuh I urgently have to order one!

Best!
Martin
