Re: [meteorite-list] Close-up New Jersey Object
Hello All, Here's a link to a pretty good video. Short, but fairly close up, and the thing doesn't look too unlike a meteorite... http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/scp_v3/viewer/index.php?pid=16598rn=49750cl=1602098ch=61492src=news Regards, Jason __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/scp_v3/viewer/index.php?pid=16598rn=49750cl=1602098ch=61492src=news It does look black in this video. I think it was the light that caused it to look brownish in some of the photographs...meaning it's probley a meteorite.

Norm, I think that if they were to scratch it hard with a nail, it would go in pretty deep and be very shiny. Mike Thanks for the better picture Adam. From the random abrasions and percussion pits, it looks like a fragment from some heavy equipment part that self destructed, then got run over for a few months on a hard surface. How it came to fall out of the sky is a mystery though. Maybe it got stuck in the tire tread of an airplane--- Cheers/Happy new orbit to all Norm --- Adam Hupe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here is a close-up of the New Jersey object: http://themeteoritesite.com/Jersey.jpg Best Regards, Adam __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Close-up New Jersey Object
That thing looks to me like many of the chunks of lead that I've dug while metal detecting, however, I just asked Lt. Robert Brightman, who was the officer on the scene if it was magnetic. He said that it held a magnet quite well. If it is lead, then there's something ferrous inside it, too.

Re: [meteorite-list] Close-up New Jersey Object
I just saw a longish story on the object on a local news story, including a close-up of the object being rotated. In the short time of that close-up, it sure looked like regmyglyphs on it to me. I'm trying to search down the video on the net now. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Close-up New Jersey Object
I got this link to play in Firefox and was able to pause it in the reverse view. There are a few features that look like regs. Perhaps the other gouges and such were created during its crash thru the building. We'll have to wait and see.

Sure looks like a piece of pyrite. From the video I saw, crystal faces are visible on one end. Someone trying to get some publicity and money? Probably. Matt Gary K.

Re: [meteorite-list] Close-up New Jersey Object
Actually you are wrong...it is magnetic if you heat it. Plus pyrrhotite (FeS-as well) is magnetic depending upon the amount of Fe.

Re: [meteorite-list] Close-up New Jersey Object
or... it could be a spent fuel-rod from a Beamship (UFO). Or a neighbor flinging garbage from a Trebuchet-catapult. Just Kidding, who knows why so many strange objects are reported as coming from the sky?
