Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Show and Birthday Bash!!
Hi All, I had such a wonderful time at Tucson, my very first time after 5 years of enjoying my passion for meteorites! I will be forever grateful to Bob V. to introduce me to this great hobby because I am so delighted to have met so many of you in Tucson! What a diverse group and so much in common! Also some new people I have met, I recommended to them to join this list. Ensisheim was wonderful too and I hope to go back there also! But Tucson, it was fantastic! I met so many members that I have written to on the list and I am so happy to finally have met you! Missed Art though! I actually didn't recognize Mexico Doug, we argued for fun on who he really was! And also McCartney. I thought he lived in the UK. He had to convince me that, no, he lives in Texas!! The Chladni's Heir made it - what pleasure to meet Martin again! And finally Andreas and Stefan. I really hope you will come again next year! The birthday bash was too much fun. Happy Birthday Geoff and Steve! The awards rightfully given to the deserving people! I know if I would mention all the people I had conversations with, I would forget one or two. So I want to thank all of you for being great meteorite enthusiasts and wish you well. I hope some of you who haven't been to Tucson to join us next year, you will have a great time! I am sending my yahoo photos URL in case some of you want to see some pictures. Some of them are taken while driving and are not the best. http://new.photos.yahoo.com/moniwaiblinger/ With best regards, Moni _ Search for grocery stores. Find gratitude.

[meteorite-list] MISSOURI, ILLINOIS FIREBALL ALSO SEEN IN KANSAS, MINNESOTA
Hi, List, We now have reports from all or parts of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas, and Minnesota of the Superbowl Meteor (3rd Quarter)! Here's the Kansas report (below). Interesting that it contains accounts of rumbling and popping noises when the object being described is likely 400 miles or more away! It must be an instance of the much-argued-about indirect generation of meteor sounds, electrophonically: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast26nov_1.htm The reports seem to span about 1200 kilometers which my rusty trigonometry tells me must mean that the object lit up at a minimum of 42 miles up, probably at 50+ miles up. It must have been big, or steep, or fast, or all three in some degree. I'm beginning to suspect it was a big one. We have two factors that inhibit the likely number of observations: 1.) very cold weather, and 2.) the distraction of the Superbowl! Yet, there seem to be no shortages of reports. It was even called a flood of reports in the St. Louis area. Sterling K. Webb http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/local/16630902.htm Aerial sight was a meteor One mystery remains . where did the falling object end up? By KEVIN MURPHY The Kansas City Star That dazzling object seen falling from the sky over Missouri, Kansas and other Midwestern states Sunday evening was a meteor, though where it ended up is uncertain, experts said. Many people reported seeing the round, orange object or hearing a thunderlike sound, some of them while watching the Super Bowl on TV. Astronomers and space buffs said Monday the description was consistent with either a meteor or debris that sometimes falls to Earth from old spacecraft. The North American Aerospace Defense Command, however, determined Monday that the object was not man-made but rather a meteor, spokesman Michael Kucharek said. The command monitors the re-entry of man-made debris. People from Kansas to Minnesota to Indiana saw the object. Locally, the time of the reports varied from shortly after 7 p.m. to closer to 8 p.m., indicating there may have been more than one. Tom Pisciotta of Kansas City said he was driving home on the Kansas Turnpike south of Emporia when he saw a large orange fireball fall from the sky and disappear over the horizon to the northeast. It had a tinge of green, he said. Patty Brasell was heading home early from a Super Bowl party at 151st Street and Mission Road in Leawood when she and a friend also saw the falling round, orange object with a bright white tail. It was an incredible sight and really wonderful, Brasell said. Several people in the Kearney and Liberty areas said they heard periodic popping and rumbling sounds coming from outside. I thought it was a neighbor shooting off fireworks, said Richard Specker of Kearney. Others thought the sound was an explosion. Russ Bixby of Leavenworth County was not far from home when he saw the meteor fall and then disappear with a flash, as if it had hit ground. It was one of the more impressive things I have ever seen, Bixby said. Randy Korotev, research associate professor of Earth and planetary science at Washington University in St. Louis, said a flash doesn't mean a meteor landed. Meteors can flash while bursting apart in the sky, he said. The rumbling sounds people heard, he said, were probably sonic booms. Meteors that reach the Earth are usually never found because the Earth is covered mostly by water and undeveloped land. Steve Arnold, noted for finding a pallasite meteorite in Kansas in 2005, said pinpointing where a meteorite lands is very difficult. These things will burn out 12 miles or so above the Earth, Arnold said. If someone is in Emporia and it looks like it disappears over the horizon, it could literally be in Illinois. It's an optical illusion that it looks super near. It sounds like you guys got a light show a dozen other states got. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] New FALL in Turkey
This is not exactly honest but, I am told The trick is to buy some legit minerals from a gem shop, dump them and put the meteorites in the gem box, then you have a receipt for some rocks, a shop bag etc when you go through customs, - And unless they have a PHD in meteorite geology and an SEM machine ... your covered. - with coins the old one about putting the coins in your wallet with your small change.

Dear Listoids, Just home from the tucson show and reading all the posts on the list of the people who are still thererrrrrrhhh. We sure were happy to meet old friends and also for sure many new ones. Marvin and Kitty Killgore kindly invited us for the past two weeks in their home, first one week in Payson and the last week in Tucson during the show. As always it was a blast!! The Birthdaybash just fantastic. The funny thing is that this time we did not return with to many meteorites but with a huge jaw of a great white shark. besides meteorites, we have a respectable shark jaw collection as well. In the week we spend in Payson we went to the Meteor Crater again where we got married two years ago and also went by the ruins of the old meteorite museum. The whole area was covered with snow and was an awesome experience. At the museum we collected some of the curved glass fragments which can be seen on the old pictures of the museum when it was still intact. If any of you never been to the ruins before but still would like a nice souvenir let us know and we'll send a piece to you which measures about 2 inch in square. We have about ten pieces so respond off list quickly to be sure you'll get one of them. For those stil at the show..have fun!! And for those who never went there.go next year...it's awesome!!

[meteorite-list] 3rd Legal Tender Meteorite Coin = Brenham
Hello Everyone, I am pleased to announce that a proposal of mine for a 3rd legal tender meteorite coin has just been approved. While there are several steps from now until the coin is minted, I am happy to say that this coin will feature Brenham meteorite olivine crystals. I could not keep making meteorite coins and not have one done with a Kansas meteorite. Plus the first (legal tender coin, not token as most meteorite coins are) was a stony meteorite, the second an iron so a stony-iron seemed a logical next step. By using the olivine crystals, we will be sidestepping any problems that collectors may have towards Brenham (mind you, the recent Brenham Meteorite Company finds seem quite stable overall). Preliminary designs have the coin featuring a Buffalo (or Bison). The demand for Buffalo coins, since the 2004 nickels have skyrocketed and since this will be the first one with a US meteorite, I think they will be quite popular. Production of this coin, right now, is set at only 1,000 coins...the same as the Nantan coin which sold out instantly and a good share of these will be acquired by the Kansas Meteorite Society. Because of this fact, and that I would like everyone to have a chance to acquire one, I will be offering them for sale when they are first available so if you are interested in them, let me know and I will put you on a contact list. Cost of the coins should be around $60.00, and I will guestimate it will be six months before they are ready. As time goes by I will know more. Another added bonus (perhaps?) by getting one from me is I can hand sign the certificates which like the first two will come certified by me with a printed signature.

I am not sure where the third coin will come from at this time, as that is being worked out. At this time, the project has been approved and that is where we are. I am excited about this one more then the others so I went ahead and announced it. (The last tow times I waited until dealers had time to get them in stock before posting).

Mind you, someone at your local 7-11 might not understand the Statue of Liberty coin is a legal tender coin, but that doesnt change the fact that it is. Worst case, if you cant find anyone who knows funny US coins you might have to take to a National Bank, but I do not know the commerce laws in all countries so I will not pretend I do. The Statue of Liberty coin and the previous meteorite coins are made of silver, so you would be pretty stupid for exchanging it for face value. (The Brenham coin will also be made of silver).

[meteorite-list] Astronaut Lisa Nowak
Hi List I just wanted to express that my thoughts are certainly with Astronaut Lisa Nowak, her family, friends and co-workers as she now has entered a new phase in her life and obviously not a good one. I doubt if anyone truly knows what the stress and effects of space travel can do to a person. For that matter I doubt if anyone knows for sure what are all the negatives associated with the chemicals in the body, hormones, or traumatic stress. I believe it is widely understood these things can certainly throw a person's rationale off.

Re: [meteorite-list] Astronaut Lisa Nowak
Hello Michael, of course you're right, I felt the same when reading such news and especially when comparing the photos of Lisa Nowak as Astronaut with the actual ones. Very moving indeed. Obviously she was a woman with an unusual strong and stable mind, otherwise she wouldn't have travelled to Space. Probably you're right regarding the possible dramatic changes of such a trip to the border. On the other hand - even extraordinary human beings can be changed dramatically just by life. Doesn't need necessarily a Space Odyssee ... Let's wish the very best for her following up her way. We'll never forget that she was one of our rare ambassadors in Space for a while. A pioneer.

Re: [meteorite-list] MISSOURI, ILLINOIS FIREBALL ALSO SEEN IN KANSAS, MINNESOTA
Hi, Steve, Speed of sound in air varies with the temperature of the air, 331.4 meters/second plus 0.6 times Temp (in C), but for government work, just figure 4 seconds to the mile. For the 600 miles from above Wisconsin to the middle of Kansas, 2400 seconds or 40 minutes. From the St. Louis area to Kansas, 20 minutes! From the St. Louis area to Liberty, MO, 15 minutes! Steal an F-18 from Boeing in St. Louis and you could beat the sound there. Lightspeed propagation delay, from above Wisconsin to the middle of Kansas? About 2 milliseconds! From the St. Louis area to Kansas? About 1 millisecond! Completely imperceptible. Particularly as the delay to SEE it is the same as the delay to HEAR it! Sight and Sound (via VLF waves) arrive at the same time -- No Delay. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast26nov_1.htm It really does happen. Makes reports confusing to sort out. At the terminal point, sight and sound (of termination) are virtually simultaneous. Further out, there's a delay between them. Further out still, there's no sound. Still further out, sound returns as the VLF electrophonic sounds, which are not produced by the the termination event but by the trail leading to it, are received. The sequence with distance is big noise, less noise, no noise, then different noise: hissing, snapping, frying bacon, rumbling, muttering, crackling, at great distances. Whether or not that electrophonic sound is heard depends if and what kind of receivers are on the ground around the hearer. We don't really know the full range of sounds that can be produced electrophocially. And their simultaneity makes the sound accepted as sound automatically. Wow! You heard it, too? How far can physical sound waves be detected? The first atom bomb (0.018 MegaTon) was heard 215 miles away. Tunguska was heard 600 to 800 miles away. (This one wasn't that loud!) As the magnitude increases, the sound wave and the shock wave are the same thing. Hours after Chicxulub, on the other side of the planet, sleeping dinosaurs are rudely awakened by What the Hell was THAT? But the REALLY big news is that a reporter got a quote right! Sterling K. Webb - - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 12:13 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] MISSOURI, ILLINOIS FIREBALL ALSO SEEN IN KANSAS, MINNESOTA Hello Sterling and List, Someone do the math for me, how long would it take for noise to travel from the Saint Louis area to Liberty Missouri? If they heard something at the same time they saw something, I would have to be a bit skeptical from that distance. It might be a coincidence or some active imaginations. It is possible that the noise did occur at an appropriate delayed time after the visual light appearance. Oh, and by the way, I am not sure if the rest of Murphy's story is correct, but I want to go on the record as saying that he did get my quote right. Steve --- In a message dated 2/6/2007 4:10:56 A.M.

By KEVIN MURPHY The Kansas City Star Many people reported seeing the round, orange object or hearing a thunderlike sound, some of them while watching the Super Bowl on TV. Several people in the Kearney and Liberty areas said they heard periodic popping and rumbling sounds coming from outside. I thought it was a neighbor shooting off fireworks, said Richard Specker of Kearney. Others thought the sound was an explosion. The rumbling sounds people heard, he said, were probably sonic booms. Steve Arnold, noted for finding a pallasite meteorite in Kansas in 2005, said pinpointing where a meteorite lands is very difficult. These things will burn out 12 miles or so above the Earth, Arnold said. If someone is in Emporia and it looks like it disappears over the horizon, it could literally be in Illinois.

Tucson was quiet after your dear wife Sabrina informed us about what happened, and the List is not yet back to its normal, busy and noisy traffic because one link is missing ... YOU, Walter. Maybe you now think that you are not so very important. But you are extremely important because you are a vital part of your family, your friends and, well, because you are one of us. This reminds me of my all time favorite Hollywood movie It's a Wonderful Life with the wonderful Jimmy Stewart. I am sure you know this film. Well, I know every little episode and it has almost become my credo: One link is missing and things take a different turn.

[meteorite-list] Walter Branch Recovery Donations
Hello List, After reading the bad news about Walter and his daughter, I called Maria Haas who was in Tucson attending the Gem Mineral Show to tell her the news. Being the good soul that she is, she came up with the idea to collect donations to assist Walter and his family during this trying situation. Maria spent the better part of two days collecting donations from meteorite folks attending the Show and was delighted to find that members of the meteorite community were quite generous. During a phone conversation with Maria on Monday ( she was hunting meteorites in Holbrook with Dave Andrews and Larry Mr. Lucky Atkins), she asked if I'd post this message to the Met. List since she is away from her computer. Anyone who would like to donate money to assist Walter Branch and his family can do so through Maria. She has a Premiere Paypal account, so she can accept payments made with Visa, Master Card, E-Checks, etc. If you prefer to mail donations to Maria that is possible too. Here is her Paypal account e-mail and also her mailing address. Paypal payments : [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing address: Maria Haas 410 Spring Street Saline MI 48176 She won't be home from her trip to Arizona/Nevada until late on Saturday, February 10, 2007. So if you try to contact her, don't expect a reply until then. From the description of the injuries, I'm guessing Walter's recovery will be a long process. I've never met him in person, but have been in contact with him for pretty close to 10 years. I'm sure that those of you who know him or have done business with him will agree with me that he is a wonderful guy full of integrity, honesty and charm. Please be generous.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite found, per local press
The Belleville, Illinois local newspaper ran the below article with a photo of the suspected meteorite over the midwest.

BY WALLY SPIERS News-Democrat This rock was found by Nancy Rettinghouse, 60, of Fairview Heights, in a lot near her home. Derik Holtmann/News-Democrat This rock was found by Nancy Rettinghouse, 60, of Fairview Heights, in a lot near her home. * Earlier story: Flaming objects seen in sky Nancy Rettinghouse had some of her family over to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday night but she ended up watching a much brighter spectacle. I was sitting in my kitchen, watching the Super Bowl, she said. Out in the back lot I saw a big yellow flaming thing falling straight down. I yelled and everyone asked what happened. When she told them she thought she had seen a meteor fall into a nearby vacant lot, no one believed her. They said, 'Oh, Mom, it was just a light.' But I saw what I saw, said Rettinghouse, 60, of Fairview Heights. That happened about 8 p.m., she said. When they watched the television news at 10 p.m. she heard about many reports about bright lights in the sky from area residents. Most authorities think it was a minor meteor shower. So my husband went over to look around this morning and he found this odd rock, she said. We'd sure like to know what it was. The reddish rock her husband found is about 2.25 inches long by 1.5 inches wide and an inch tall. It was embedded about one-half inch in the ground of the lot, which usually is a garden. There are lots of meteorite identification sites on the Internet. Several have categories labeled meteorites and meteorwrongs, catch words for real meteorites or deceptive Earth rocks. Perhaps the best Web site is www.meteorites.wustl.edu by Randy Korotev of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. Any rock coming through the atmosphere would be melted on the outside by the intense heat, showing signs of what they call a fusion crust. Meteorites usually contain metals that will attract a magnet although that is not always the case. Their rock had neither of those things. I did see something fall in the lot, she said. There appeared to be nothing else on the lot. But perspective can be a confusing thing. The view out the kitchen window is to the west and the last few feet of the view of the lot is obscured by a 6-foot-tall fence which stands about 100 feet away. I don't want anyone to think we were drinking or something, Rettinghouse said. It sure will be embarrassing if it's not real. We just want to know. She said they probably will take the rock to someone who is an expert to have it identified. - Best wishes Robert J. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Bandli's Tucson Pics
This was my first pilgrimage to Tucson. I wanted to do the picture journal thing with lots of text, but do not have the time. To sum it up, I have never met a more tightly-knit and welcoming group of people in my life. I will return every year. Thank you to Katharine Manning, Qynn Arnold, and Geoff's Cindy for keeping my wife company while I was running around shaking hands. She also had a fantastic time and has a greater appreciation for this important 'hobby.' Here are a few pics: http://www.astro-artifacts.com/Astroartifacts/Tucson07.html Kind regards, Mike Bandli www.Astro-Artifacts.com __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
