I often see meteories described as "oriented" when in fact (to = me) they really do not appear to have the characteristics we = traditionally ascribe to an oriented meteorite. Jim's article should = leave no doubt as to what an oriented iron looks like. I like Jim's = analogy of rain running off a car windshield. Nice job Jim.
