[meteorite-list] NJO ownership

[MeteorHntr at aol.com]

Mike,

That was my first  thought, that it was a cleaned up Nantan.  

There just isn't the  fresh look that other Iron falls have.  

I am curious, it is  physically possible for a meteorite to enter our 
atmosphere so slow that it  would fall without burning, no fireball, no melting of 
the surface of the  rock?  

Of course, in the NJ case, I doubt it would fall so slow  that it would pick 
up rust on the way down.

It doesnt matter, because the only way that is  a
meteorite is that it is a Nantan and the owner is
pulling a scam.  Otherwise, this is not a meteorite.
Iron meteorites do not enter the  atmosphere covered in
rust.
