My own department could do this (done that before with earlier meteo-wrongs) - I work as a researcher at the Earth Sciences dept. of a University. However, this object is in custody of the Police. I might contact them to suggest them to do a nickel test - just in case. But: it was actually because I am quite sure (from its outlook on the pictures) it is artificial, not a meteorite, that I posted it here on this list, as one possibility then is space-junk (I do note that there are no suitable decay candidates for this date & place, however). All the grooves etc. look mechanic to me - not at all like regmaglypts on a meteorite. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
