Re: [meteorite-list] Hypothetical launch question
This guy wasn't as starry eyed as others I've met. Just a family man in the suburbs trying to figure out what the heck happened. It sure looks like something whacked his house. He said the damage to the ceiling was caused by the concussion to the roof above. I'm not sure what kind of roofing system he had installed. The roof is typical of an 80 year old frame house. He said it was just redone with some sort of rubber boot. A premium ice and water shield I'd guess, not that it matters. Here are some pics with with a diagram he drew. Just another odd story. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/razor_wire/Lombard3.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/razor_wire/Lombard2.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/razor_wire/Lombard1.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/razor_wire/Ceiling.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/razor_wire/LombDiagram.jpg Thanks for the input.

Re: [meteorite-list] Hypothetical launch question
Still sounds fishy to me. I don't see how it hit the roof hard enought to make plaster fall from concussion 2.5' away and didn't make a hole?? Concussion felt 2.5' away that is enought to do damage is a pretty strong force. Also looks like a lump of coal to me -- Stuart McDaniel Lawndale, NC IMCA#9052 http://www.facebook.com/Stuart.McDaniel.No.1 bill kies parkforest...@hotmail.com wrote: = This guy wasn't as starry eyed as others I've met.

Re: [meteorite-list] Hypothetical launch question
Bill, I admit. At the risk of being wrong, I tend to believe people and take them at their word unless I have reason to believe they are lying. In this case If that did hit his roof then I think it might be a meteorite. Cat Mountain meteorite also looked like a piece of coal. And everybody and their brother told the finder that. But it was tested ( x rayed ) and found to be almost pure forsterite. If not for that knowledge it would have never been verified as a true rare meteorite. It too looked as black on the inside as the fusion crust. -- Carl or Debbie Esparza Meteoritemax bill kies parkforest...@hotmail.com wrote: This guy wasn't as starry eyed as others I've met.
