http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/04/15/midwest.fireballfixed your link I heard about this yesterday on NPR. It appears a large rocky meteorite(1 or more cubic yards of material) lit up the midwestern sky 2 nights ago. pretty impressive when you consider how small that clump is In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

And as there were no reports of any new holes in the ground it also must have been traveling at escape velocity or it disintegrated at altitude,any news on that aspect?Sould have read the CNN report first as it said that it did break up. Old enough to know better(but)still young enough not to care |

according to the report I heard it most likely broke into smaller pieces and landed over a 5 county wide area in rural Wisconsin. It's unlikely any part will be found or identified In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

No, it's there. I apparently was suffering a cranial-rectal inversion when I posted. Sorry 'bout that, Richard. |

Meteorite hunters descend on Iowa County farms Town of Linden — - Billions of years before last Wednesday night, two asteroids collided somewhere in outer space, sending a rock on a path that ultimately led to Kevin Wasley's farm field. It took much less time to nudge the orbits of meteorite hunters careening to southwestern Wisconsin where their zeal for tiny black rocks from outer space has created quite a sensation and boosted business in nearby communities. http://www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/91669604.html Pic's and story continues @ link............. |
