Meteorite explodes over north Groningen
Wednesday 14 October 2009
Hundreds of people report seeing a spectacular fireball or meteorite
over the Netherlands in Tuesday's clear evening skies.
The police emergency number, Dutch coastguard and KNMI weather bureau
report dozens of phone calls about the meteorite, which was seen in
Germany and Belgium.
'I was standing in front of my window when there was a bright flash of
light and a white fireball in the sky fell apart into three smaller
ones,' eyewitness Erik Alberts from Zuidbroek in Groningen province
told Nos tv. 'Like fireworks. A few seconds later, perhaps half a
minute, there was a low rumble and the windows shook.'
Excellent Photographs:

Grimsby meteoritePosted By Linton Rohr |
There are Canadian and American meteorite hunters searching the area, and a second and now a third stone have been found. 
http://www.rocksfromspace.org/Grimsby-Meteorite.html
Anything found by Americans will have to remain there at least 6 months, while an export permit application is processed.

Maroon BellsPosted By Linton Rohr |
Very nice, Jim! What a classic shot.
Gloomy can add drama sometimes. I'd have to see the original.
I love the sky, and the peaks, reflected in the water.

Fall reflectionsPosted By Linton Rohr |
Sweeeeeeet! Well done, John.
I've always loved those Impressionist reflection scenes.
I was wondering if we were going to see any autumn colors here.
Anyone else?

Sunspots Again...Posted By Linton Rohr |
I was out until after sunset Jon, but spaceweather alerted me.
I'll take a look first thing in the morning.
Looks like a very nice grouping.

Nice, Bill.
Do they still run raft trips down the river?
I'd love to float through that canyon.

Mount EvansPosted By Linton Rohr |
Nice view, Harry.
And at least you're scanning your slides.
I've got about 100 trays full. Now I've got a scanner.
I just need to get motivated and scan a couple trays a week...for a year!

Carbonaceous chondritesPosted By Linton Rohr |
Hi Paul.
I think the most common, and readily available, is Allende. Followed by Murchison,
which is much less available, and of course 10x pricier.
I went on the hunt and got a couple chunks of Murchison earlier this year,
but it was hard to find and I haven't seen much since.
Apparently Tagish Lake (Canada) is a C.C. as well. I'm currently looking for that.
I just searched the Meteorical Bulletin and found 264 C.C.'s!
Most of them I've never heard of. Many were very small TKW's.
That would be a good place to explore though.
And the IMCA's Encyclopedia of Meteorites.
There's also a Meteorite Wiki site up and running now,
and it's growing very quickly. Good luck with your search.
