[meteorite-list] Composition of Russian bolide smoke trail

[Jim Wooddell]

Hello Bob and List

I think it is completely both.  In the future, we may hear more about
this.  I would like to know if they launch any Wx balloons in that
area to see what conditions were at that altitude.  Would have been
great if they could have launched a ballon that could have sampled
that cloud!  THAT would have the makings of a great paper!

Kind Regards,

Jim Wooddell
