Dear Marco and All,

If I understand your question correctly, you are
asking: "why so little data"?
We have a quantative satellite info, which allows to
evaluate the hypothetical meteoroid kinetic energy.
We have a possible infrasonic detection and a few of
witness's accounts.
I can just say that the area is very remote, and hard
(and expensive!) to reach. Anyway, If somebody wants
to spend his money to go to there - I think it is
possible.
But please, pay attention, that in Russia meteorites
belong to a state.
Anyway, this expedition is already the third one The
previous two were conducted by scientists from
Irkutsk, in general - they took snow samples.
They keep silence on results, but I think if they
found something, we would hear in the news. No any
news till now.

One of the problem is that taiga is used to be
devastated by windstorms, forest-fires, etc. So I
think the best thing is to wait for more info.

Best wishes,
Andrei

coming from Bodaibo bolide. So, now it comes. You
question about the 'area to be researched"
>I would say, at first, from the center to the end of
its total diameter, since the observations are in
loco. But no photos? From the air? From satellites?
>From the meteorites? From the burned trees? From the
soil?
>I mean nothing in about one year of researches?
Nothing like any little evidence on the bolide. Of
course not... but if it were another man made bolide?
