azaware Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I just caught this in my eyesight this morning. It sure looks like a meteor. It has a slight magnetic pull. I don't know if anybody can tell in a picture if it's a meteor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikestang Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Well it's absolutely not a meteor. A meteor is the light you see in the sky caused by ionization of the atmosphere, a "shooting star".But it very well could be a meteorite, need to see this one in person. It could also just be a rock with an oxidation coating on the outside.Would you be able to take more pictures, maybe higher resolution?

Mikestang Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Good candidate, could be one, should have someone knowledgeable look at it in person. Come out to the Tucson show in February, more meteorite people there than anywhere else on the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
