Namibia Meteor/Meteorite News- Fireball in Namibia 19SEP09 23SEP09

Fireball in Namibia (English Translation below)

Viele Menschen sehen „Lichtblitz“

Allegemeine Zeifung- AZ Online 23.09.2009
Windhoek – Die leuchtende Erscheinung am Himmel ist am vergangenen Samstagvormittag noch von vielen anderen Menschen sowie in verschiedenen Landesteilen Namibias gesehen worden. Nachdem die Windhoekerin Ingrid Bieker auf das Phänomen aufmerksam gemacht hat und einen Meteorit vermutete (AZ berichtete), haben sich seit Wochenbeginn noch weitere Menschen bei der Allgemeinen Zeitung gemeldet und von ihren Beobachtungen berichtet.

So wurde der „Lichtblitz“ unter anderem von Menschen am Oanob-Damm, im Khomas-Hochland, am Swakoppforte-Damm, in Wilhelmstal, auf der Farm Finkenstein östlich von Windhoek, bei Omaruru, nahe Otjiwarongo und natürlich in Windhoek wahrgenommen. Übereinstimmend berichteten alle Anrufer von einem sehr hellen Licht am Morgenhimmel (ca. 9.10 Uhr).

Es könnte sich um einen Meteoriten gehandelt haben, erklärte Sonja Itting-Enke, Betreiberin der Cuno-Hoffmeister-Gedächtnissternwarte, jetzt auf AZ-Nachfrage. Allerdings würden diese eher ein bläuliches Licht erzeugen, weil sie „Kupfer und andere Metalle“ mit sich führten. „Vielleicht war es aber nur Weltraumschrott, denn es fliegt ja heutzutage viel im All herum“, füge sie hinzu. In jedem Fall, das berichteten auch die AZ-Leser, sei das Objekt offenbar beim Eintritt in die Atmosphäre verglüht.

German-English translation by ImTranslator 3.2-P

Many people see "light flash"
AZ Online 23.09.2009
Windhoek – The luminous appearance in the sky has been seen in the last Saturday (19SEP09) morning still by many other people as well as in different land parts of Namibia. After the Windhoek resident, Ingrid Bieker, has drawn the attention to the phenomenon and supposed a meteorite (FILE NUMBER reported), even other people have announced themselves since weekly beginning in the general newspaper and have reported about her observations.

Among the rest, thus the "light flash" was perceived by people in the Oanob dam, in the Khomas highland, in the Swakoppforte dam, in Wilhelm's valley, on the farm finch stone to the east of Windhoek, with Omaruru, close Otjiwarongo and of course in Windhoek. Correspondently all callers reported about a very bright light in the morning sky (approx. 9.10 o'clock).

It could have concerned a meteorite, explained Sonja Itting-Enke, operator of the Cuno Hoffmeister-commemorative observatory, now on AZ inquiry. Indeed, these would generate rather a bluish light because they led „ copper and other metals “ with themselves. „ However, maybe it was only a space scrap metal, because it flies nowadays a lot in all “, she adds. In any case, reported also the AZ readers, the object has apparently died away by the entry into the atmosphere.

Australia Meteor/Meteorite News- Basaltic Meteorite from Australian Fall 18SEP09

Science 18 September 2009: Vol. 325. no. 5947, pp. 1525 - 1527 DOI: 10.1126/science.1174787

Reports

An Anomalous Basaltic Meteorite from the Innermost Main Belt

Philip A. Bland,^1,* Pavel Spurn,² Martin C. Towner,¹ Alex W. R. Bevan,³ Andrew T. Singleton,⁴ William F. Bottke, Jr.,⁵ Richard C. Greenwood,⁶ Steven R. Chesley,⁷ Lukas Shrben,^1,2 Jiri Borovika,² Zdenek Ceplecha,² Terence P. McClafferty,⁸ David Vaughan,⁹ Gretchen K. Benedix,¹⁰ Geoff Deacon,³ Kieren T. Howard,¹⁰ Ian A. Franchi,⁶ Robert M. Hough¹¹

Triangulated observations of fireballs allow us to determine orbits and fall positions for meteorites. The great majority of basaltic meteorites are derived from the asteroid 4 Vesta. We report on a recent fall that has orbital properties and an oxygen isotope composition that suggest a distinct parent body. Although its orbit was almost entirely contained within Earth’s orbit, modeling indicates that it originated from the innermost main belt. Because the meteorite parent body would likely be classified as a V-type asteroid, V-type precursors for basaltic meteorites unrelated to Vesta may reside in the inner main belt. This starting location is in agreement with predictions of a planetesimal evolution model that postulates the formation of differentiated asteroids in the terrestrial planet region, with surviving fragments concentrated in the innermost main belt.
