[meteorite-list] Temperature of meteorites (Bernd's List)

Tue Nov 23 12:29:19 EST 2010

I recall the Navarro house hammering stone of Park Forest reported as being 
almost too hot to touch.  I believe her name was Toby Navarro but I may be 
wrong.  She was actually working at her computer when the stone crashed through 
the roof, smashed a computer and hit a game box.  She picked it up within 
seconds of it demolishing the room and told us that it smelt like an oven and 
was uncomfortable to touch due to heat.

I have no reason to doubt her whatsoever. She is very religious and a person of 
honor.  Mike Farmer purchased the stone after spending a morning in church with 
her as she prayed for guidance on how to deal with the stone.  I offered her 
much more than Mike had but she had already made up her mind to sell it to him 
since Mike took the time to prayer with her and talk to her congregation. I was 
wondering what happened to Mike that morning since he was missing for 4 hours.

Oh Well, you can't win them all.

Best Regards,

Adam

Hi Mike:

I am still a fan of cold meteorites (yes I am biased), so is it possible
that a burn is due to something very cold rather than hot?
