[meteorite-list] Coloma, CA

[Marc Fries]

Howdy ladies and gents

     I have an important update for the Coloma fall.  This may be my 
last major update, but I think y'all will like it.

     For the record, a 10-20 kg CM chondrite would be about a 
quarter-meter in diameter.  Salivating yet?  I am.

     I do have one request.  If the media approaches you, please be 
insistent in pointing out the role that weather radar played in finding 
this fall and direct them to me.  I am NOT fishing for attention for 
myself - I honestly couldn't care less about it. But media attention is 
a currency of a sort, and its a currency that I can spend to try to get 
funding for this work.  If I can get funding, then I can produce data 
like this with better speed and quality, which will help everyone.  Most 
of you already have my phone number - please pass it on to the media.

Enjoy!
