George,
The reason tanks show up on infrared binoculars is they are radiating
heat from running their engines earlier AND they have humans inside with
98.6 degrees F radiating their interior. Iron meteorites have neither of
these factors.
Best wishes, Michael

Huh....didn't think of that. Makes sense. I was thinking more along the lines
that the heat was residual from daytime, but the humans inside and the
running of engines would explain why this wouldn't be such a good idea.
I wonder if using a "blacklight" or Ultraviolet light at night would produce
a unique enough signature from various meteorites to identify them from other
rocks?
