This morning, at about 8 AM, Judy and I were SHOOK by a blast that also rattled things on the mantle! Check out my post in Meteorites! TTC

I wonder how many people are out scouring the desert right now for a little chunk of that rock. If I were closer, I know I would like to try and cash in on that too.

Yes. If I were 30 or 40 years younger I would! The 6pm news said thousands of people in the sierras have called it in. It's a big deal around here. I also made a comment about it in Meteorites. I'm headed there now. Tnx for the response my friend. TTC

If it was a comet there won't be much left - they're mostly ice. A meteor is another matter.

A local news reporter is saying the THING may have been as large as a washmachine. Some are now saying it may have been a meteor instead of a comet. California OES (I think that is Office of emergency services) officially declared it a piece of a comet much earier today. TTC
