[meteorite-list] Fall Patterns (& Latest Canadian Meteorite Find)

[AL Mitterling]

Hi Bob, Steve and all,

Steve #1 wrote: The Smithsonian and the Canadians, had
miserable results with their "fireball image capturing
networks" over the long time they spent trying.

Without those results we wouldn't know that meteorites originated from 
the asteroid belt. It was an impressive effort on their part. Perhaps 
with modern equipment we could pin point a few falls better than they 
could do back then with low sensitive films (low asa's) and bulky 
equipment. One still needs to capture the bright fireballs then locate 
the fall to get results. All of which make capturing falls with camera 
networks difficult at best.
