(meteorobs) Stockton meteorite-addition.

[stange34 at sbcglobal.net]

I should add to complete the vibro-seis picture, that the computer truck 
"moves all the trucks forward" in a straight line a certain distance after 
each vibro sweep, over and over, until the 1/4 to 1 mile ground coverage is 
done. That is how they get the phase and time delay to profile the 
under-earth.

The heavy trucks are actually raised above the ground by the vibration pads 
before the vibration pounding begins.

The passive(safety) drivers set there and indure the hardships with newly 
loosened fillings. :-) Larry
