Can the Canadian Govt explain what incentive ANYONE has helping them. IF, I lived in Canada and I had ANY information, the Canadian Govt would be the last to know.<BR><BR>Instead, I would urge all Canadians to contact American dealers on ALL meteorite finds. Hell, they would even be better off claiming that Canadian finds came from Morocco so they could at least cash in a little bit. Or they could claim that the meteorite was found in Montana. Who would be the wiser?</P> <P>Randy</P></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>From: Ron Baalke <BAALKE_at_ZAGAMI.JPL.NASA.GOV> <DIV></DIV>>To: meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com (Meteorite Mailing List) <DIV></DIV>>Subject: [meteorite-list] Canadian Scientists Seeking Help In Search For Meteor <DIV></DIV>>Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2001 14:35:45 -0800 (PST) <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>http://www.canada.com/calgary/news/story.asp?id={5DDF144D-650D-4470-80EA-9E429C036EC5} <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Scientists seeking help in search for meteor <DIV></DIV>>canada.com <DIV></DIV>>November 7, 2001 <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>CALGARY -- Researchers are hoping someone has a <DIV></DIV>>photograph or video of the biggest meteor to fall in Alberta <DIV></DIV>>in 40 years so they can tell where it landed. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Alan Hildebrand, a planetary scientist at the University of <DIV></DIV>>Calgary, says the meteor was an asteroidal fragment that <DIV></DIV>>weighed five to 10 tonnes, about 1.5 meters in diameter. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Hildebrand says it was travelling at roughly 20 kilometres <DIV></DIV>>per second and this was probably the biggest rock to fall on <DIV></DIV>>Alberta since 1960.'' <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>The flaming rock was seen streaking north across the <DIV></DIV>>Alberta sky near the British Columbia boundary on October <DIV></DIV>>14th at around 2:20 a.m. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>It exploded over the northern part of Banff National Park <DIV></DIV>>with a deafening boom that could be heard 150 kilometers <DIV></DIV>>away. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Eyewitnesses reported seeing hundreds of pieces of the <DIV></DIV>>rock falling to the ground, however, freshly fallen snow <DIV></DIV>>may delay the hunt for particles until next spring. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Show your support at the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund - http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/my-pay-page/PKAXFNQH7EKCX/058-5084202-7156648 <DIV></DIV>>_______________________________________________ <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list mailing list <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com <DIV></DIV>>http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href='http://go.msn.com/bql/hmtag_itl_EN.asp'>http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></html> Received on Wed 07 Nov 2001 10:43:40 PM PST |
