I missed comments as well, except for the last caller who suggested we could learn all we needed to know by contacting Dugway and evaluating existing bomb craters! -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Hards [mailto:chuckhards@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 8:58 AM To: utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] FW: Bowling Balls I just missed it.

Chris, You really would have to do an enviromental impact statement if you dropped federal bureaucrats. What a mess that would make. Otherwise, not a bad idea. Maybe include a newspaper reporter and a few radio announcers <g>. BLM??, don't "We, The People" own the BLM? Isn't it our property? This is what happens when you give somebody a little power.

Patrick, tomorrow is one of my rare Saturdays off. I would love to see a demonstration of the bowling-ball cannon. Has a demo been scheduled? What time, and where?

Meteorites
by Kim Hyatt 10 Jan '03

10 Jan '03

I have been contacted by a someone who has a rock he believes to be a meteorite. From his description, it certainly sounds genuine. Does anyone out there know of a local (i.e. northern Utah) expert who is qualified to identify meteorites, types, and so forth? Kim A. Hyatt, AIA SL&A Architects 331 South Rio Grande, Suite 304 Salt Lake City, Utah 84101 801.322.5550 x122

Thanks, Chuck. -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Hards [mailto:chuckhards@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 12:21 PM To: utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Meteorites He could try the Rockpick Legend Co., 1955 No. Redwood Rd., SLC (801)355-7952. (Formerly DBA Lewis Rock Shop) I have discussed meteorites with the owner in the past, he and his daughter have always been very helpful. While he may be able to positively ID the specimen as a meteorite, he may not be able to classify it as to type, but it's certainly worth a call.

Bob Tillotson sent the following message in case any of you are interested. In case you are interested, I am listening to Tom Barberi on KALL 910 radio right now and they are going to be talking about the BLM's response to a bunch of guys that want to drop bowling balls out of an airplane over the west desert . . .

Dave - in all my conversations with officials at various agencies and news media I'll make it clear this is NOT an official SLAS undertaking. I hope, however, that any subsequent meteorite search(es) might be sponsored by SLAS for its members. -----Original Message----- From: David Bennett [mailto:dlbennett@mac.com] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 8:10 PM To: utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Mowling for Beteorites I came home today to find my mailbox stuffed with 30 some odd messages about bowling balls from outer space. LOL! I have now made a separate mailbox entitled 'Spaceballs' so my inbox wouldn't have to be so cluttered. (Whether or not that title refers to the subject or the authors, I'm still deciding ;-) Keep up the cause y'all...just keep SLAS out of it :-) Dave _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
