[meteorite-list] AD--one day reverse auctions today only
Listees Thought I'd do something a little different this Sunday.The following 3 items did not sell recently and I have relisted them as one day reverse auctions.The prices have been reduced and I will continue to drop the price every hour or 2 until they either sell or I can't sustain the price drop.They all still have watchers from the previous listing especially the 99 gram LL3 endcut.I suspect that one may go first.All 3 come with a bonus Lunar or Mars meteorite in presentation case. I will post an alert first on my facebook profile of upcoming pricedrops http://www.facebook.com/emeraldisle.meteorites see the 3 items here http://is.gd/aY9PEI thanks for looking Jim Brady IMCA 2424 __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Light and sound event over North Eastern Pennsylvania 2011/04/16 17:30-18:00
Over NE Pennsylvania between 17:30 and 18:00 EDT (Local) there was a flash and bang of huge proportions Vic. Long Pond, PA The light was so intense I saw it through my closed eyelids indirectly reflected off the walls inside walls. 4-5 seconds later (flash-to-bang) was a huge rumbling, echoing, and persisting report-- very unlike a normal lightening and thunder event. Given we were in the midst of an intense rain storm which otherwise had no thunder and lightening, I held off on making a report . However in a conversation with a friend who was 25-30 miles away, he mentioned a huge flash and loud sound also. I am therefore mentioning it should a fireball have fallen during a rainstorm and might other-wise go unnoticed.

It seems to me that to hear loud sonics within about 5 seconds after the bright lite appearance, is rather too short of a period to be meteorite related. It could be I guess, but it just seems too short.

I witnessed this too. There was a massive storm that rolled through the north east last night. It was most likely lighting from the storm.

At first I thought it was an aircraft but then realized it was moving at very high speed--it was the fastest object I have even seen. Object was leaving a very bright white contrail which dissipated rapidly, vapor trail was whitish gray in color. At the mid point in the observation, the object increased to a very bright point and appeared to break up into at least point sources, but they continued moving to the south until obscured by the cloud deck. My wife and I observed the object continue south through a second break in the clouds until we could no longer see it. I am retired USAF and have had astronomical training in college. This object appeared to be above 100,000 feet in altitude, made no detectable sounds. Apparent speed was above Mach 6, perhaps higher, since the total period of observation was approximate 2 minutes--the object crossed half the sky. fragmentation = Yes Terminal_Flash = No Concurrent_Sound = delayed_sound = sonic_remarks = general_remarks = bolide_notes =Object went from a dark point source to a very bright point about as bright as an arc welder, this lasted about two seconds, the object appeared to break into two objects, which dimmed back to a dimmer point and continued for another thirty seconds until obscured by the cloud deck On Sun, Apr 17, 2011 at 9:48 AM, Mike Hankey mike.han...@gmail.com wrote: I witnessed this too.

Apparent speed was above Mach 6, perhaps higher, since the total period of observation was approximate 2 minutes--the object crossed half the sky. Based on this reported duration, it sounds more like re-entering space debris than a meteor.

Hi Tom and all, I understand and totally agree. However, for those that are a lot less shy than me it could be a great tool. Here's why, if you can type, you can make a animated movie, and the first one is free! All you do is type in the words you want your character to say and the program does the rest. My video took me 15 minutes to copy and paste text from my site onto theirs. Then I selected the scene, character, and clicked finish. check out their website here: http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/11798674 On 4/17/11, Tom Randall (KB2SMS) tommy2...@hvc.rr.com wrote: Hi Ruben and list!

[meteorite-list] ATTN: Ron Baalke - Impactor Detection Questions, Part 2
Hi Ron - As I did not make it to the Flagstaff meeting nor to the Texas session, and I've read no coverage of either, so here's some stupid questions for the NASA NEO office: Last I heard, the AF had walked away from PS1 operations, and Weiler was not walking in. What's going on with PanStarrs operation and funding? Assume that every 26 million years or so the Earth gets pounded by a Long Period Comet. (In other words, Clube and Napier's injection model is correct, and Mueller and Morrison's Nemesis model is wrong.) What is the best way of getting the earliest warning of an inbound LPC? Not the cheapest, but the BEST. Assume that the ELE for humans (in contrast to other species) is about once per 1,000,000 years. How much is it worth to find out what hit, whether comet or asteroid? Assume that small 30 m cometissimals hit the Earth quite often and cause 5 kt airbursts, and can come from any direction without prior passes. Does a radar or lidar system based on the Moon then make sense for their detection? Do you know if anyone in the US federal government has responsibility for investigating geoblemes or tsunami remains? What is the current state of the imaging of 73P's fragment stream? Will WISE be able to make 2 band observations? Will the price of Moss take a sudden plunge in 2022? Finally, the President sent a proposal in reply to a request from the Congress to set up an office under FEMA to plan impact response. Has any action been taken by the Congress yet? Any by NASA? Thanks for your answers. I would not like to go on to late night talk radio and give more than 50,000 listeners wrong information, but I can. PS - Hi Steve, Geoff - there's television, and then there's radio. I'm sure Discovery PR can line you up to take the public's questions. That about uses up all my stupidity for the evening. E.P.
