Michigan meteor Jan. 16-17

A meteor hit overnight Jan 16-17 with a force great enough to register as a 2.0 eq.

I'm posting so we have record of 1st occurrence, if it continues.

One strange thing was https://twitter.com/B75434425 randomly posted that there were 120 air force jets flying over the nation that night that were showing call signs, implying there were others flying dark. 

When asked what was a normal number, she said 10.

There is a video showing a 'light strike' coming straight down, and a subsequent fire.
That one is a self admitted hoax.

Meteorite hunters are finding bits and pieces of the space rock a few days after. Story below. And no, it wasn't some outer space beamed directed energy weapon. That's been pretty well proven false. Just a plain old space rock.

The first fragments were located Thursday by professional hunters Larry Atkins and Robert Ward of Arizona, according to the American Meteor Society. Ward said he used seismic data, Doppler radar and witness information to narrow down where to search

oh well just a rock from space ... still might be worth something?

Going prospecting Sat. cause Sat is best weather day though 50deg will see what I get. I have a couple places with ancient stream beds covered with ancient hot mud flows 1 is close to  and same elevation as The Strawberry diggings you used to hear about on the series "The Big Valley", I know that location! USFS controlled area so lookin for my own.


Today in between the crap news I spent 230 usd on hobby related stuff and did about 4hrs work on the Crackerbox forward deck, it is to be named Tool Box with P-50 last age I worked on it... now 67. Man time flys when you get drawn into the rabbit hole, I keep popping my head out and looking back to some better times of innocence!
These are the colors @ amazon .. : Auto-air #4531 & 4534 & 4558.
Broke out the Badger 400 gun and two air brushes... the 400 turns out to be another fossil like me, still in its box though... used and well kept as well as the air brushes a B model and I think a 150, ready to go.
Next step to trim the forward deck and glue the two side ones on + cowel of mahogany & transom. OOOOh.
Done for the night, gonna dream of painting those cool colors that r on the way. I love painting!
