Description
Article originally published in the Journal of Geophysical Research, and republished by the Smithsonian's Research in Space Science SAO Special Report series. Discusses the observations made of the January 3 1970 fall of the Lost City meteorite, as well as the efforts to recover fragments, as well as the photographically observed falls of two other meteorites known as Meteor 40617 and Meteor 40503. Contends that based on what they have observed regarding Photometric and Dynamic Masses there might be an argument to be made that meteor sizes have been underestimated by some number of factors.
