It could be an aeroplane part, actually (that is what the Police so far seems to go by, according to the press on this). I investigated a number of similar cases in the past (but am not involved in this one - just curious from the sidelines this time) - you'd be surprised what odd stuff comes crashing through roofs and walls with considerable force. Sometimes it's vandalism, sometimes things falling of aircraft (or out of aircraft landing gears), sometimes things (pieces of machinery) "launched" by industrial accidents. In a few cases (not likely this case though) I have suspected birds carrying and dropping stuff. I have no info on specific weight of this object. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
