Hi David,

My name is Chaz Firestone and I am the features editor at The Brown Daily Herald, the newspaper of record for Brown University. As you may know by now, some of the mystery of this meteorite fall was solved by a Brown professor named Peter Schultz (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080311141024.htm).

I would like to write an article about this for The Herald, and was wondering if you might be interested in speaking with me about your initial thoughts about the meteorite and how they stack up with mounting evidence. I came to your blog by the NYT blog that mentioned you (http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/09/20/in-peru-a-crater-and-questions/).

If you’re interested/available, please send me and e-mail and we can arrange to speak over the phone.

Thanks!
Chaz

How about the release into the atmosphere of a column of possibly hot volatile gas, methane has been mentioned, that somehow got ignited by an atmosperic electrical discharge. Think of the lightning that accompanies volcanic eruptions. The flame followed the column back to its source and if it found a pocket of methane or other burnable gas it created an expolosion. This might look like a decending fireball from a meteor. Just a wild speculation.

Hmmm, ok so it might not be life from another planet… but do you HAVE to burst my bubble?

Seriously, your mud volcano sounds like a very plausible reason… I concede that this may not be the beginning of first contact, but its coming!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope to have your input in the future.

take it with a grain of salt, but latest story says a chondrite (but not dangerous. hmmmm wonder how long the gestation of a pod person is).
