House roof debris 'fell from space'


uk.news.yahoo.com

The 4lb object was investigated by the RAF Flight Safety Branch after it landed in the loft of Peter and Mair Welton's home in Forester Way, Hull, in July this year.

The branch has now identified it as space debris and said this was the only incident of its kind investigated by the RAF in the last five years.

The metal was reported to the RAF as it was initially thought it may have fallen off an aircraft.

But the investigation found the debris had not come from a plane and was more likely to have fallen to earth from space - although it is unknown what the metal was from.

I have just read this and wondered how often around the world metal is falling from space? This article states it is 5 years since an investigation took place in the UK.

Also, is there any follow up that clarifies what the metal is and if it is debris from something we have put in space or unidentified materials?

I would be very interested to know the extent of this happenning and if it is on the increase.

How can they say that this is "House Roof Debris"? The article ends by
saying that the origin and type of debris is unknown.

Interesting - it could have come from out of space? a reply to: easystreet

Who thinks the RAF would tell us if it was from a UFO?
I bet they did not get to keep it.

Stuff falls from space and hits your house every day.

Most are micro-meteorite fragments and spherules from ablated bolides that fall continuously in our atmosphere. Micrometeors can never make it through the atmosphere at cosmic velocity because they will burn up completely. Instead, the fragments are burned cinders that fall at terminal velocity and wind up disbursed in the weather systems in our atmosphere, falling gently all over the Earth.

Harvey Harlow Nininger (January 17, 1887 – March 1, 1986) was an American meteoriticist and educator. In the 1930's he proved that almost all rain gutters contained micrometeorite spherules and cinders in some quantity. He did a massive survey and collected so much data he won awards for his work. He is known as the father of meteoriticicity and had one of the best early collections of meteorites from around the world.

A scientists from Harvard, Avi Loeb, went looking for meteoritic spheroids under the ocean in an expensive boat with all sorts of instruments. He obviously did not know to much about Harvey, who had scooped him bigtime with spectacular results, for free. Meteorites fall all over the Earth uniformly, and have no affinity for ocean or land. Who says going to Harvard makes you smarter.

Adend:

Swipe a neodymium magnet through the soot in a section of your rain gutter. What you pick up will undoubtedly have meteoritic material in it. Look at it under a microscope for spherules. The definitive test will be to do an isotropic chemical analysis, which is beyond the reach of most, but you can certainly learn online what equipment you will need if you want to go that far. Have Fun!

The classic Book of the Dammed by Charles Fort talks of objects and animals falling from the sky, and this was before space junk as it was writted in 1919, You caoulb find a better quality one that this, but if you hvent encountered it, here it is
