Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Meteor Reported in Australia
The best resolution to the question would be to have someone come up with either a rock or a twisted lump of aluminum. ...perhaps one that "barely missed my head and hit one of my goats, which burst into flames!!!" or the like.

Turns out there were two launches that day, at 3:59 UTC and 6:30 UTC, and I do not know whether the first stages of such launches get listed by the OIG as it returns almost immediately after separation. Could be an option, perhaps. - Marco -- Marco Langbroek Dutch Meteor Society (DMS) Leiden, the Netherlands 52.15896 N, 4.48884 E (WGS 84) e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DMS website: http://www.dmsweb.org priv. website: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek -- __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

> Zig-zagging = tumbling space junk? > > MDF Not likely. There is no suitable decay candidate for that date/time/location combination. The last decay warning at the NASA OIG server is for the decay of 1992-088E on June 27, which was a spectaculare one observed from the eastern USA and Canada. No decayers after that date. The next expected decay is in a couple of hours from now, the decay of a piece of Ariane 3 debris (1988-018E). - Marco -- Marco Langbroek Leiden, the Netherlands 52.15896 N, 4.48884 E (WGS 84) e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek weblog: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/iss_log.html -- __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
