Re[2]: (meteorobs) A powerful fireball event in Siberia
Dear Marco and All,
In the Bodaibo/Vitim event the fragments are not searched due to a snow cover. As I know the next expedition is planned for the next spring. Also initial reports about burnt trees and the crater are not confirmed still. Currently for me the event resembles more the Sikhote-Alin 1947 fall (by the way, the latter produced craters, and as I recall, a little of some burnt grass nearby). The latter one was an iron one, but some large hard-stone fall possibly could produce in some way something similar. Anyway, as we still have a little data, let's wait for more info. Hoping that soon we will be able to make a solid conclusion "what it was".
Now we can concentrate on Leonids, unless something similar take place again...
Best wishes,
Andrei
