It said the meteorite was headed towards the foothills of the Sikhote-Alin mountain chain running along the coast of the Sea of Japan and the Tatar Straits. its fall was accompanied by a noise like thunder, a clap, and terrific concussion with a trail of brownish smoke. The dispath said tremendous trees were bent and broken, some even tore up by the roots. (end) Pretty short....but the ealiest Sikhote-Alin report I have found to date.

The NPA in the subject line, stands for Newspaper Article. The old list server allowed us a search feature the current does not, so I guess this is more for quick reference and shortening the subject line now. Received on Wed 26 Jan 2005 12:08:26 PM PST |
