Sahara 00293 That's a Labenne # Their 293rd recorded meteorite for the year 2000 Consistent with their numbering system from 1997 onward. So many desert meteorites. So many ordinary chondrites with no data. So many could be paired. So confusing. On Thu, Jan 22, 2015 at 6:57 PM, Graham Ensor via

Meteors, or perhaps more frequently space junk, can move over the horizon for a few minutes, but what gives this away is that the sun has just set near the fireball. It's getting dark on the ground, whilst the contrail is still in the light of the setting sun making it an impressive sight. The
