"meteorites" on mars might differ from those on earth? How would an
asteroid fragment react with the atmosphere of Mars with its different
composition and density? Does the Martian atmosphere have enough density to

Well then, if meteors cannot corkscrew what about
those that appear to break off and change direction
slightly in the lumionous phase?
If they can do that, then corkscrewing caused by a
flat surface spiraling in the same phase is not out of
the question.

Hi Steve and othe
Trust me, if you weighed 1.5 tons and where traveling at hundreds of
miles an hour and you then broke into three, you would corkscrew.

Some "corkscrewing" effects might also be caused by an aerodynamic
vortex in the wake of the meteorite (rather than by spinning or tumbling).
