Hi, all,

Speaking of the Grand Teton

Assuming it was a stony (since most meteorites are) would anyone care to 
guess at the mass behind the show?

That high up and daylight, it would have to be at least SUV size, wouldn't 
it?

If this is a worthwhile question, how about Peekskill, which so many of us 
witnessed - how large would that have been at the start of it's descent?

I realize there are many variables at play, so of course they would be 
ballpark estimates.

Cheers,
Pete
