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?
