Larry,
	The very large velocity difference between the atmosphere and the  
meteor has already heated the meteor to white heat. What mechanism  
causes the 'outgassing jets' to accelerate - in the direction of - the  
meteor? (Necessitated by 'concave jets')	
	Also, what mechanism would impart a high rotational velocity to the  
meteor, without sending it out of the meteoroid stream?

	As I said before, I followed the outgassing theory, but now it  
appears that it is just not possible.
