[meteorite-list] 88th Anniversary of Colby Meteorite Fall, 07-07-1917 NPA

[MARK BOSTICK]

Mark L. noted:

Eighty-eight years ago today, a 104 kg. L6 was observed to fall on a warm, 
humid July 4th evening in Colby, WI (celestial fireworks!). When recovered 
shortly thereafter, the two main mass pieces were found to be covered with 
frost.

Hello Mark and list,

Below is the only newspaper article I have...that I am aware of the Colby 
meteorite fall.  This short news note wrongly notes the meteorite fall may 
have been an airplane bomb.  I can't remember if I have posted it before, so 
please look past it if I have.

Paper: Stevens Point Daily Journal
City: Stevens Point, Wisconsin
Date: Saturday, July 7, 1917
Page: 2 (of 6)

- Possible the meteor which fell at Colby was a bomb from one of the 
kaiser's airplanes.
