I've received an email = from someone who lives some 500km SW of Townsville and witnessed the = event also. They even felt the booms. I might add they sent the email = within 2 hours of the event (long before they could have read anything = from the media) and described everything pretty well. Hopefully there = could be some material coming out of this one. Pity it has to stay in = Australia! ;-) Cheers, Jeff Kuyken I.M.C.A. #3085 www.meteorites.com.au www.meteoritesaustralia.com ----- Original Message -----=20 From: GeoZay_at_aol.com=20 To: baalke_at_zagami.jpl.nasa.gov ; meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com=20 Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 9:07 AM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Spectacular Fireball Over Australia >>A MYSTERY "fireball" that fell from the sky and reportedly struck = the=20 earth so hard it shook buildings like a mini-earthquake had North=20 Queenslanders scratching their heads last night.<< There's a good chance that a meteorite hit the ground with this = fireball, but the "shook buildings..." effect was most likely airborne = sonics caused by the objects passing thru the atmosphere.
