Just Discovered Asteroid 2024 RW1 to Hit Luzon Philippines abt. 16h39 UT 5SEP2024



by Evgeniy Trofimov

Attention Philippines
9th Earth impactor on its way to Northern Philippines!
Freshly discovered in the first hours of September 4th by the Mt. Lemmon Survey (G96), part of Catalina Sky Survey, Asteroid 2024 RW1, CAQDTL2, is a small asteroid (around 1 m dimensions) coming from the main asteroid belt. But what’s exceptional with it, is that its orbit will soon bring it into the Earth atmosphere! For the 9th time in human history, an extraterrestrial object is discovered BEFORE it enters the Earth atmosphere. Seen the size of the impactor, the main highlights will be a major fireball and potential meteorites recoveries, but this remain a dramatic and scientifically valuable event.
From the actual calculations, which will be more and more accurate as long as we receive some new observations of the small Near Earth Object which is in space right now, it seems the entry area of the asteroid is in Northern Philippines, close to Luzon island, around 16h39 UT. Inhabitants close to this position should remain alert around that time, and try to enjoy the show. Best would even be to record it, and to send a Fireball Report Form to the IMO!
Today 04 you can make a video of a meteor (meteorite) at 00:32 - 44 (local time). You need to set up your camera and point it to the sky in the northern direction at this time 00:32 - 44 (local time) and wait for the Fireball

A meteorite from this event was found in Kirkwood, Eastern Cape, South Africa.  The meteorite appears to be from the HED group, likely a Howardite or Diogenite, a specimen of Asteroid 4 Vesta! -LMH...Tokyo


Please study! This site is a great reference about meteorites, written by Dr. Randy L. Korotev.

What to look for? Meteorite with black or dark brown Fusion Crust 

Freshly fallen meteorites may smell like burnt, like sulphur or like gun powder.

Generally, they are heavier than the average Earth rock.

If you find a meteorite, document with camera photos before disturbing the scene, get the GPS location, and mark the spot.

Please if possible DO NOT TOUCH WITH BARE HANDS, this contaminates the meteorite; wrap in aluminium foil, put some dry rice in a jar and add the wrapped meteorite or fragments and seal. DO NOT USE A MAGNET, as this destroys the magnetic memory in the rock. A sample needs to be supplied ASAP for Cosmic Radiation Studies and Gas Studies. Please email me @ LunarMeteoriteHunter@gmail.com   Worldwide there are 2-4 labs that do these studies. Thank you!

People in the local area first check the roads for smashed rocks on the blacktop or look for black burnt-looking rocks on graveled roads. Check roofs, windows for holes. THEN, begin a good search in the area surrounding where the one rock was found. Good luck. This is a sample of Asteroid 4 Vesta! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4_Vesta
