Well. ITOT (it turns out that) there are limits to how long subject
matter should be sustained before it self-destructs taking out many
members of an elite group. (The solution to the Red Guard - forward all
e-mails pertaining to bolides.) The most recent bolide I saw was on a
webcam site of a bowling alley in Idaho. Now this could open up
speculation about how fast a 16 pound black blob of synthetic matter,
spherical in shape, partially aerodynamically designed (three pocks),
would have to travel to hit both a plane flying from New York to LA and
a train travelling East at 90 mph and would it fragment? If so, should
we call it a bolide or not? Help!! (I don't mean to be offensive, but
you have to admit I can do a pretty good job with seemingly little
effort) Sorry, this is not directed at any one individual. Best
regards, jj
