Hi John, Rob, and List,

Spent all day today at a Seafood festival. I discovered I hate crab =
stew.

>Very cool

I agree, John! Nice complement to the peekskill avi video!

>It sounded like an L3 to me.

Ha, very good! Nice to see humor has not died out on the list (though =
the odds favor a 5 or 6 :-)=20

    Hi List,

    when I returned from the States on Thursday evening, there was a =
package waiting for me containing an audio tape of the Bovedy meteorite =
fall. It's pretty cool, so I thought you might want to hear it for =
yourselves.
    It was recorded on 25th April 1969, in County Londonderry, Northern =
Ireland - a woman was recording bird song just as the 5.4kg Bovedy (L3) =
meteorite fell, and she caught the detonations through her microphone. =
The booms and rumblings echo around for several seconds after the first =
detonation, and a spooked dog starts to bark soon after (the Bovedy =
Dog??).

    The fun starts at around 34 seconds into the track, which you can =
download at
    http://fernlea.tripod.com/bovedy.wav

    It's always nice to see what caused it, so here's a picture of my =
Bovedy slice
    http://fernlea.tripod.com/bovedy.jpg

    Thanks to Derek Heatly and the Planetarium for the original =
recording!

    Cheers,
    Rob Elliott.
