[meteorite-list] Texas meteorite fall 07 Dec 2012

[Marc Fries]

Howdy all

	I forgot to send this email earlier today - my apologies. The  
Galactic Analytics team has located a meteorite fall from the large  
meteor that occurred north of Houston early this morning. This bolide  
was seen as far away as western New Mexico, on an allsky camera  
operating as a part of Bill Cooke's NASA network. More radar data will  
be available when the short-range radar at Houston Intercontinental  
airport, but for now the NEXRAD imagery shows the location of the  
fall. Early indications are that this was a physically tough, well- 
consolidated meteorite similar to Battle Mountain (but not necessarily  
an L6 like Battle Mountain).  The first-pass data, complete with fall  
location, can be found at the link below. Further updates are  
forthcoming.
