Hi List, If you think about it a second. : ) With such a steep entry =
angle the biggest pieces would not have to be at the far end of the =
strewn field. The momentum that caries bigger pieces further would not =
be a factor, they would be rather random.
Thanks, Tom

  Hi Mike and List,

  I am repeating what I was told by a very informed source and I agree =
it doesn't make sense. Since I have only seen three partial plots that =
need to be merged I can not see the reversal effect that is being =
authored by another List member, maybe he will comment. What I did =
notice is three large clusters or concentrations on the plots which I =
found very interesting. Now that the direction issue has been solved I =
wish they would have reported the retardation altitude.


  All the best,

    I am confused about Park Forest though, the larger pieces were all =
in the center to northern part of the strewnfield, if the firebass came =
from the southwest to the northeast, would this not make it perfectly =
correct?=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

        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
