[meteorite-list] The chance of a lifetime?
Church organist required for jungle meteorite hunt Wanted: one organist for concert in remote Bolivian jungle accessible only by raft. Must be prepared to face rapids, alligators and 30C (86F) temperatures. Ability to swim a bonus. Church organists are rarely an essential part of expeditions into the Amazonian rainforest, but a team of scientists about to embark on a journey to a far-flung meteorite impact site in Bolivia believe that one will be key to achieving their mission. Colonel John Blashford-Snell, a professional adventurer who made headlines in 2000 when he took a grand piano 350 miles (560km) along the Amazon River as a present for the Wai Wai tribe in Guyana, intends to deliver a pedal organ to the isolated Ojaki community as a way of persuading its people to help his expedition. The colonels team, which will also help to install a clean water supply and perform medical duties for the Ojaki people, are reliant on local expertise to build bridges to the impact site, which is five miles wide. The locals are religious and have asked the visitors to install an organ in their newly built church. The organ a pedal-powered Harmonium donated by St Jamess church in Milton Abbas, Dorset will be flown to La Paz and then transported by lorry 120 miles over the Andes to the Beni river. It will then be loaded on to a 59ft (18m) boat for a 430-mile journey over rapids and more dangerous, man-made hazards. Colonel Blashford-Snell, 70, told The Times that the main obstacle would be logs floated down the river by timber companies. You get around those by gunning the engine before pulling the prop out of the water, he said. God willing, your bow comes out of the water and you shoot over the log and land on the other side. Natural hazards include alligators, although these are not a problem unless you step on them, he said. The explorer made a reconnaissance expedition two years ago but had to stop within seven miles of the crater when his party got down to their last bottle of water. He suggests that any organist willing to join should be prepared to face discomforts such as swarms of bees and 30C temperratures. The organist should be fit enough to catch a bus and it would be very nice if he or she could swim, he said. The successful applicant will also be expected to pay a share of the costs of about £2,000. The team hopes to be the first to bring back traces of the meteorite, which is estimated to have landed between 5,000 and 30,000 years ago. It will also try formally to identify the Andean double-nosed tiger hound, a dog first observed in Bolivia in 1913 by Percy Fawcett, a British adventurer. Derring-do Colonel John Blashford-Snell is a former officer in the Royal Engineers who helped to found Operation Raleigh. He will lead the 20-person team on the two-month trip on June 21 He has twice been shot at by Ethiopian bandits, bitten by a vampire bat and ate a Panamanian spider monkey Blashford-Snell is the founder of the Scientific Exploration Society He led the first descent of the Ethiopian Blue Nile in 1968 and the first vehicle crossing of the Darien Gap in Panama in 1972 He invented a jungle hat that is mosquito-repellent, Teflon-coated and has a refrigerated headband He said recently: I often say at 6am as I climb out of a soaking wet hammock, God, I must be mad.

[meteorite-list] Peruvian Crater
If Randall is only open for discussion about the crater and the find after scientific studies have been completed what was the point of mentioning it now prior to the studies being completed? What is the point of the rambling about the laws and filed paperwork, ect.? What is up with throwing in the fear factors about what could happen to a person if they did this or that? If Randall was concerned about someone horning in on his find and ransacking the crater why didn't he just remained tight lipped about the find like others have done? Looks like loose lips can sink more than a ship. I wish all people acted like Steve Arnold when it comes to a good find! Luckily Randall will not be the last person on the face of the Earth to have a find and we can all happily going hunting our own merry ways. Happy Hunting to One and All, Dana L.

[meteorite-list] a June sighting
RONA JOHNSON COLUMN: Fireball sightings stretch to Wyoming On June 2, Dayne LaHooe was driving on a gravel road through Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming when something caught his eye. "It was the most spectacular thing I've ever seen - I have never seen anything like it before," he said. LaHooe called after he read my June 10 column in the Herald about the fireball that streaked across the sky June 2. "It shot across the sky and looked like it landed right behind the Tetons," he said. LaHooe, who works in Jackson Hole, Wyo., figured it was about 9:30 p.m., because the stars hadn't even come out yet. He didn't say much to anyone about it because he thought they wouldn't believe him. But he did tell his girlfriend and her father. Then, as luck would have it, his girlfriend's father, who lives in the Twin Cities, was driving through this area and somehow came across my column and sent it to LaHooe. From Minnesota Errol and Chris Johnson, who are from Chewelah, Wash., were in Roseau, Minn., on June 2. They were celebrating Errol's uncle Glen Johnson's 86th birthday. It was about 11:30 p.m. and Errol and about five other family members were sitting in the breezeway of his uncle's home when they heard some distant booming noises. "My wife said it sounded like a baseball bat hitting the side of the house - like a sonic boom, I thought," he said. Johnson decided to go outside to see if there was anything going on. "Almost immediately, I saw two large fireballs with tails fly by, moving from the south-southeast as they appeared to descend to the north," Errol said. He called to the other family members to come, but the meteor was out of range by the time they got outside. Johnson and his wife didn't hear anything more about the fireball until after they had returned to Washington. "My aunt and uncle sent a thank you card and they sent along your article," he said. That's when Johnson called me. Using Google Earth, Johnson was able to find the exact longitude and latitude of where he was standing when he saw the fireballs, which were 48 degrees, 50 minutes, 34.68 seconds north latitude and 95 degrees, 45 minutes, 38.84 seconds west longitude. "As far as the angle off of the horizon, I am thinking I had to be looking up about 60 to 75 degrees as I looked directly east," he said. Over in N.D. At the same time that Johnson saw the fireball, Leann Weber was in a tractor cultivating a field about 3 miles north of Cando, N.D. It was about midnight and there was no moon. "All of a sudden, the sky just lit up," Weber said. She said the fireball stayed in the sky for about a minute. "As it was falling, you could see debris coming off it and it started breaking apart," she said. "I've never seen anything like it, and probably will never see any like it again. I guess it's a good reason to keep cultivating late at night." Weber, who works at the Herald as a copy editor, was reminded of the sighting when she was reading my column the night before it appeared in the Herald. If you read my column June 10, you know that I was sitting in University Park in Grand Forks during the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life when I saw the fireball. It's fun to hear from people who saw the fireball, but I still haven't received any photos - hint, hint. And it would be really cool to find out if anyone has found any pieces of the meteorite. I have to apologize to anyone who has been trying to e-mail me lately. My e-mail address has been missing an "r" for the last month and wasn't caught until this last week. I haven't been ignoring your e-mails, I just haven't received them. Sneak preview the all-new Yahoo.com. It's not radically different.
