The Portales Valley and Johnstown Strewnfields were backwards.=20

  Dear List Members,

  It looks like some are starting to realize the secret of the Park =
Forest strewnfield, it is reversed. I think this has happened only a =
couple times in history. I hinted at this in a June 15th post to the =
list not wanting to take the element of surprise away from a person who =
is authoring a paper on this very subject.

  All the best,

  Adam

Bolide Over Park Forest

    Hello Folks,

    This whole thing has me a bit perplexed for several reasons. First, =
the stone my brother and I recovered had a distinct angle of entry that =
I saw and documented, and passed on to Mr. Sipiera. That trajectory =
definately indicated that the offending stone came in from the S.E. and =
was heading in a N.W. direction. I determined this before ever being =
subjected to other theoriesof direction of entry. I also spoke with =
eyewitnesses in the days that followed and all backed up that =
conclusion.
    On a second trip I met with a man named Atul Kumar, He isn't a =
scientist but he has been gathering info on the strewn field for the =
astronomy club that he is involved with. He has compiled quite a =
list/map of stones that were recovered, including weights and locations =
of recovery, and his map indicates the same S.E. to N.W. direction, with =
the larger stones coming from the N.W. end of the strewn field.=20
    Of course I can't argue with the DOD satellite observation, but it =
sure is contradictory to what I've been thinking all along! The =
satellite indicates an entry of exactly the opposite of what the strewn =
field maps look like that I have seen, and my own recoveries, 70 gram =
stone in Steger, 638gram stone in P.F. indicate at the very least a =
South to North trajectory, (roughly).
    No matter how you slice it, based on the DOD satellite info, the =
larger stones should be south of the small ones, and this is just not =
the case.
    Is human error possible, between interpretation of the satellite =
data and publication of said information?
    Curious minds want to know,
    Larry=20
