Re: (meteorobs) Meteors suspected in strange case of blazing hay sheds.
In a message dated 98-11-19 06:31:02 EST, you write:
<< Professor John Brown, the Astronomer Royal for Scotland, based at Glasgow
University, said: "This is certainly a fascinating account. It is perfectly
possible the cause of the fire could have been a meteorite." >>
I hope this guy lost his job over this ridiculous statement. How did he become
Astronomer Royal?
Meteors large enough to strike the ground use up their energy at a distance of
many miles above the Earth's surface, giving the object more than enough time
to cool in their freefall. The Fire Dept. should take another look at arson.
