There is a new meteorite-related, international, non-profit organization standing up soon. They?ve agreed to host GA-style information including images with free and open access. What I?d like to do, if it?s alright with y?all, is to host content on that platform and send links to the Met List. That way y?all can share in the content, the information remains freely available, and this also solves the problem of how to share images (strewn fall calculations, images of radar signatures, etc.).

It has been a freely available forum to discuss meteors and meteorite falls, and a convenient site for me to disseminate radar data showing potential meteorite falls. When I started this, Facebook was an open forum for all participants. Unfortunately, Facebook has recently enacted policies which restrict the uncensored flow of content between one end of the political spectrum in particular. I cannot support censorship, as it is a form of oppression. I have shut down Galactic Analytics (but will retain old content on Facebook for the time being) and am looking for a new, open venue to host content.
