Hello list
          I'd like to express my delight at the debate
that ensued following the Wales event.Amazing
stuff.Being just a layperson I assumed it was a
fireball but after seeing Mr. Matsons calculations and
being made aware of concordes overpass at that time I
had no choice but to vote for a contrail.Still a
strange looking thing though and I'm curious why there
was no supersonic boom mentioned by the observers.Was
the plane too high??Anyhow,great stuff,and amazing to
me that NASA jumped to a conclusion so quickly.

Does anyone have a link for photos of the alleged 7kg
Allende,would love to feast my eyes on that beaut.What
a nice thing to be left by grandpa.

Kudos to Mike for travelling to India,must be one hell
of a culture shock,hope it's worth it for you and some
of the rest of us at some point.Good luck and get some
pics posted as soon as you can Mike

take care all
Jim B
