Be advised, Charles! It isn't just Farmer that has a
problem with this subject....

.... and I just may have to "respond to this list"...,

.... (but I've decided to take my post to bed with me
and "sleep on it" ;-) until the morning...

...unless another List dedicated only to meteor-wrongs

comes on-line overnight!
[Yes, I know about that other List, but that's for
"members only"]

Have a Good Morning All,
Bob V.

Hi Sonny and List,
 
            The Elma <whatever> objects remains a
mystery, and while
probably not a meteorite by definition, remains a very
seriously studied
material by a number of leading labs and scientists.
There are papers due out on this material soon and we
will just have to wait to see what the professional
world has to say about it. Many have already seen
some
preliminary chemistry results that were posted, as
well as some microprobe results. If you get into that
stuff, then you can probably see why there is so much
controversy over the origin of this material.
Equally interesting are some of the low power
microscope images. Adam Hupe had spearheaded the
effort to get this material seen by some of the
best authorities available, and I believe that if not
for his excellent scientific method, this event would
be lost forever. Adam had requested that I re-post
some imagery I had provided previously for anyone
still
interested in this stuff. A rather low-res composite
page can be found here:

If anyone wants some higher resolution imagery, just
ask, and I will be glad to email them to you.
 
<Again the standard disclaimer: if the word ELMA
bothers you, delete
this message and please don't respond to the list.>
 
Thanks,
Charles IMCA 4351
