Hi All,

Before I left work on Friday I managed to import my predicted
Park Forest impact coordinate ellipses into Delorme mapping
software, and the results were in excellent agreement with
the locations of recovered specimens whose coordinates have
been published here. What I would like to do is work more
closely with the strewnfield mapping P.I. or P.I.s to guide
searches in new areas suggested by my software. I'm on my
home computer at the moment, so unfortunately do not have
access to my filed information on the parties doing the most
work in this area. Please contact me if such a collaborative
effort is of interest. In addition to the prospect of finding
new specimens queued by my trajectory modeling, I think this
would make an excellent paper for next year's Meteoritical
Society meeting, showing how theoretical prediction work
coupled with field recovery can yield new specimens and
validate bolide trajectory and breakup models.

Best wishes,
Rob
