AZNuggetBob Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Maybe a piece of DA14 ? AzNuggetBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Good viseo, much better than what they showed on the news. Thanks for posting. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Tom Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Man that thing sure put those Ruskies arse's in gear. I would have loved to know their language and understood some of their comments. Bet they thought that those crazy Yanks are sending missels over. Only natural with world tentions as they are. The detectorists are going to have a field day once the goverment allows the adverage Joe in there. That thing hit the ground and didn't explode over an wide area so I don't know just how dispersed the field would be, unlike Gold Basin.

Ugbomb510 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Apparently a decent sized piece hit a frozen lake and scientists already have the lake blocked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARGONAUTE Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 looks like it fragmented into sizeable pieces. At 300 kilotons of energy, I'm glad that thing was coming in shallow and was essentially an airburst. They reckon it was 7000 tonnes and 15 m across. There certainly is the potential for a mishap if people have itchy fingers on the nuke buttons or the Yeltsin football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ron Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hope John B's buddy is all over this!!! ... I met him up at Gold Basin, but having serious CRS on names and most everything else... There was a report that there were .5 to 1.0 cm pieces found around the hole in the ice that contained "iron and rock" ... I'm thinking there's going to be some very interesting info coming out of this fall after a while ... And I betcha the price on grams of this one will be astronomical ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Border Boy Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Wow!! Very cool burn was a yellow orange I would think stony or iron, I would love to find one of those blue burning ones. Not an expert but you would think there would be denser metal on the blue colored entries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARGONAUTE Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 The blue ones would probably have a higher nickel content. I've seen green contrails before, so I'm probably thinking copper or manganese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
