Hi Count,
Looks to me like you could be on to something there. When you look at it in 3d
elevation and spin around it in google earth it seems to have a raised rim and
possibly even a double ring structure from further out. Perhaps worth
collecting some rocks and have someone look for shocked
Hi Count,
Interesting feature. There actually appears to be 4... maybe 5 of them
running in a line in an almost West to East direction and graduating down in
size. I don't know if this eliminates one origin over another. I guess both
meteoritic and volcanic origins could do this but I'm
This seems to have been seen over as large as or even over a larger area
than Park Forest. St. Louis up to Iowa/Minnesota, Wisconsin. Just a helpful
fyi, Rockford, Illinois is 83 miles from downtown Chicago and it about
150,000 people, much bigger than Park Forest. Madison WI is about 3 1/2
I bet you within a week some new unknown person is going to be selling the
NEW Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin meteorite on ebay that they claim
they found. I'm sure a lot of you folks are going to be getting lots of info
on your websites and email addresses about people finding a rock
Dear List,
I hope that NASA and other groups were able to run some air sampling missions
shortly after the event so that we have more data on particle distribution at
high altitudes.
Someone have any morning photos from the area in case there is still a debris
cloud?
Anyone living in
If anyone is going to b in the area, give me a call n we can hunt it down as a
team.

Hi All,
Can someone give me an estimate on how close to Madison, Wis. this event may
be.
I live very close by. I know the UW Wisconsin roof cams got a pretty good
shot of it.
Where could I begin to look for possible Meteorites??
Thank you,
Kirk..

Thank you for some encouragement. Yes...it is the even diameter of the raised
rim and the fact that there are definitely two concentric rings.
I plan to make a day collection trip to the site within ten days. If any

Interesting, while you are exploring the structure, if you find a shatter cone
you will confirm an impact.

Of course they're not related, as the fireballs are from the asteroid belt

Hi All,
Yes, my apologies -- I got the direction reversed. It was WNW to ESE.
(In my defense, I made the mistake of taking one of the early witness

Based on the Doppler data, the westernmost returns are at much higher
altitude
Livingston looks like the perfect search area, nothing but farm fields all

Meteor showers can, and sometimes do, produce massive fireballs. So if a
fireball occurs during a known shower, it isn't surprising to see some
reference to that in news reports. I always check the radiant of fireballs
against known showers to rule out the possibility that the fireball is a
