(meteorobs) meteor thru roof
Hello Geo et al;
I can help out on where the meteor fell thru the roof. It was in
Beaumont, Texas. Beaumont is our 'big city' here in Southeast Texas. The
news said that it sounded like a sonic boom that was heard throughout the
city. Can you imagine the noise close up and personal?
Anyway, it was a little meteor about the size of a marble or a little
smaller. Fortunately, we have a scientist that is studying meteors and
meteorites here in Beaumont. It is now in his possession.
The story says that the meteor (meteorite) went through the roof, went
through the ceiling and came to rest in a wall. Really lucky that it didn't
hit anyone. Would really have put a damper on the day! Ha ha. I will keep
you all posted as any more news is made apparent.
Clear skies!
