(the first one in the "Part Two" post) If so, I take your word on it - you are far more experienced at this than I. Can anyone else comment on this one? Is it indeed a fake or the wrong event? If so, please chime in so I can strike it from the list. Good luck in Russia Mike!

It is less than 20 >>>>> seconds. It shows someone who walked outside to film the bolide trail >>>>> in the sky. The person holding the camera is then startled by the >>>>> first explosion, which is very loud. Shaken, the person continues to >>>>> film, until the second explosion is heard - at which point, the person >>>>> becomes freaked out, runs for cover, and shuts off the camera. This >>>>> one clearly lets you hear the first two fragmentation events very >>>>> clearly and you get to experience the surprise and panic of the >>>>> camera-person, albeit briefly. >>>>> >>>>> Chebarkul Video #4 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efvP-RRuJuA >>>>> >>>>> This video I call "poor poopie" - because there is a startled dog >>>>> involved. This one is a surveillance camera overlooking (downwards) a >>>>> parking lot outside an apartment building. There is a few minutes of >>>>> boring mundane footage showing pedestrians walking through or milling >>>>> about. Just before the 01-25 mark (1 minute, 25 seconds), a small dog >>>>> wanders into the frame with a man. While watching the bolide trail in >>>>> the sky, the first explosion happens. What is interesting is how >>>>> nonplussed the people are in reaction to this sudden unexpected >>>>> explosion. It hardly startles the people, but the dog is clearly >>>>> scared. Then, the second explosion happens and the dog gets spooked >>>>> again. Afterwards, there are a few boring minutes of the people >>>>> gawking around and dog appears to be OK. I selected this one because >>>>> - the novelty of the dog and how it reacts in relation to the people >>>>> and because it shows how casual the Russians are when presented with >>>>> sudden loud explosions - apparently, it's nothing to get too excited >>>>> about when the sky explodes without warning. LOL. If you don't want >>>>> to get bored with this one, focus around the 1-minute and 25-second >>>>> mark. >>>>> >>>>> Chebarkul Video #5 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7mLUIDGqmw >>>>> >>>>> This video is part 2 of a 5-part video.

You get a good feel for the >>>>> confusion and chaos afterwards. Keep in mind, it is BELOW ZERO TEMPS >>>>> outside during this event, and people run outside without coats, >>>>> gloves, or other clothing. They run about, gawk, and discuss what just >>>>> happened. If any of my friends can translate some of the Russian >>>>> dialogue in this video, I would greatly appreciate it. What are they >>>>> saying exactly? Do they think it was an attack? A meteor? A bomb? >>>>> >>>>> Chebarkul Video #6 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9HkE2RztYY >>>>> >>>>> This video is short, but interesting. It appears to be shot from >>>>> inside a hotel room or apartment. There is a man and a woman, and one >>>>> of them is standing next to the window, looking outside at the bolide >>>>> trail in the sky. Suddenly, the first sonic boom rocks the room and >>>>> the woman lets out a blood-curdling scream in surprise. I selected >>>>> this video because it is one of the few examples of a Russian citizen >>>>> reacting strongly to the explosion. In most videos, the average >>>>> citizen appears very stoic and nonchalant about the blast. >>>>> >>>>> I still have several dozen more videos to comb through and will post >>>>> some more at a later time. >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Sources : Google News Aggregator, YouTube Search, Dr. Nick Gessler's >>>>> webpage, Robin Whittle's posts, and suggestions via Facebook, Twitter, >>>>> and other social networking sites. >>>>> >>>>> Dr. Gessler's excellent page - >>>>> https://web.duke.edu/isis/gessler/meteorites/chelyabinsk.htm >>>>> >>>>> Best regards, >>>>> >>>>> MikeG >>>>> >>>>> PS - if a reputable member of this List, the IMCA, or Met-List >>>>> acquires some small fragments of this meteorite, please contact me >>>>> off-list.
