Additionally we have discussed in the past, the merits of attempting to
collect micro debris by placing panyhose/stocking/ securely over the
down spouts of area houses/buildings. Perhaps those nearby Park Forest
could promote this and collect the screenings after 2 weeks or so. I
have found school teachers usually helpful in getting participants.

It makes sense that there would be a rain of ablation material of this
type..it is conceivalbe that some of this material was under the slip
stream in the low pressure area that exists behind an object in flight
trailing behind "drafting" it.

I would like to reiterate the need to search for this material as it
would add to the knowledge of meteorites and someday give identification
clues to meteoroids which explode high up and don't drop a stone which
is found.

Good Luck,
Elton
