At first I was going to title the post "The Andromeda Strain?" but I
like Fleet Street Rag rhyming for oddball stories.
You know, like this:http://www.findaceleb.com/girls/p/piper-billie/000023.jpg
That's downright Shakespearian. A masterpiece!
Ah, if they just had let me do a Walter Winchell style radio program
for Pravda:
"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Moscow, all the Soviets at sea! Flash!" ;-)
The one that was freakishly close to The Andromeda Strain's "Scoop"
mission was when the NASA Genesis solar wind sample return mission hit
the desert floor without the parachutes opening.
I still think that The Andromeda Strain and Contact were two of the most
imaginative sci-fi films ever done.
And they were real sci-fi as opposed to fantasy; the things they showed,
though very unlikely*, weren't impossible.
This story should be fun to keep up on.
I still think that the odds are that this is a piece of space debris
rather than a meteorite.

* I sure hope that's the case in regards to The Andromeda Strain.

If it were space debris would it have hit with that much energy? I
don't think I've seen that much energy ever for space debris. (Except
maybe that great clip of that V2 whistling in straight down near its
launch pad and that perfectly V shaped explosion plume. Tho' I think
that might have still been powered.)...............Doc
