Thanks for the link, Steve. I've never seen the Cabin Creek one before - that's a honey! So do you think the brown object that crashed through a roof the other day will turn out to be a meteorite? Sue

I'd say there's a 95% chance it is a meteorite. I don't know of too many iron objects that come out of the sky and do that kind of damage. If it was something that fell off of a plane- It might have just put a dent in or possibly just crash through the roof. Meteorite speeds are usually measured in miles per second. The atmosphere does slow them down but they can still pack a punch. The type of meteorite can make a huge difference also.

Could have been a piece of space junk but the shape and coloration are wrong.

Right you are - they are calling that lil "homewrecker" a meteorite, I see. I thought maybe it was a piece of the Russian rocket debris that put on the sky show over Colo. Sue

Another thing- I  don't think they even use any iron or steel  on airplanes - space shuttles- satellite's etc. Aluminum and titanium alloys are much stronger and weigh much less.
