Hi Elton,
I did note that most of these eyewitness accounts report a
seemingly more shallow trajectory than we believe based on
Doppler returns.
I'm curious: what about the Doppler returns made you think the
trajectory was shallow? The Doppler radar returns are over
12 miles long, indicating

LOL. The fireball looks out of phase with the sky and the rest of the picture.
The surrounding scenery in the photo doesn't seem to be lit properly from that

I admit it. I made it up.

Depending on factors such as quality, shape and market variability, Garcia
said, meteorites can fetch between $2 and $8 per gram.
Can I place my order now
Me too!!! I will pay $10 per gram.
