[meteorite-list] The Lorton meteorite in a vacuum cleaner

[Shawn Alan]

Carl and List,

Today I was able to speak with someone on the phone about the vacuumed used to clean up the mess from the Lorton meteorite fall and she had stated that the vacuum bag was sent to the Smithsonian. Well I guess Smithsonian has everything covered and is making sure no one has fragments from the Lorton meteorite fall.

Hi, 

Just a thought I had the last week or so. Has anyone given the thought of obtaining the vacuum cleaner bag used to clean the offices? It still might not be too late and with the doctors permission, of course. Judging from the photos, there may be little micros that may have been overlooked and vacuumed. A dusty search but with a face mask, gloves and a strong magnet, who knows? 

Carl

Hey Mike. Depends on how full the vacuum bags are originally. May take weeks before they need replacing. For the price of a new bag, the doctors just might let you have the old ones. Raises the level of meteorite hunting, doesn't it? Anyone out in Virginia that might want to try it?
