[meteorite-list] Noblesville IN possible meteorite landing December

[Mendy Ouzillou]

What velocity range to meteors decelerate to when they enter dark flight? It someone sees it breakup directly overhead (i.e. prior to entering dark flight) seems like it could still be at least tens (more?) of miles away when it hits the ground.

If you saw it break up near the horizon, any meteorites produced are 100 miles or more away from you. For meteorites to be within a few miles of your location you would have seen it break up directly overhead.

We spend a lot of time back there staring at the skies and I have a good feeling that this landed approximately within 2 miles from our home. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life.

There was nothing in the local news or social media about the sighting. If you are a serious hunter of meteorites and would like to reach out to me for more info, send me an email.
