Sevenstrokeroll,

I think it's an asteroid until it hits the earth then it becomes a meteorite but who knows bulmers has won to night. Sounds the same

Sevenstrokeroll,

p.s


it may not be long before some eunuch tells you that you have failed to give 'british' (sic) a capital letter. Just ignore, you still win first prize, cousin.

Does anyone know what action you should take if you get an RA with a meteorite?

At 30 km/sec
"CLIMB, DESCEND, OH DON'T BOTH.........."

[sevenstrokeroll]

KLOS...century is still new, but thanks sir

oh to be in such grand company!

[CONSPICUITY]

How can a meteorite show up as a Tcas alert unless itself is fitted with tcas and associated transponder system

[Hotel Tango]

CONSPICUITY, you're late for class again!

[OlivierG]

When meteorites will have transponders, TCAS will be able to track these rocks....

Not always, but likely was in the Russian case, albeit a very small one.

A meteorite is anything that hits the earth
A meteor is it spearing through the atmosphere
A meteoroid is a small rocky object languishing around in space, now generally accepted to be less than one metre diameter.
An asteroid is a largish (larger than a meteoroid) mainly rocky metallic object in a reasonably regular orbit around the sun
A comet is mainly ice and dust ball, with usually a really elongated
orbit around the sun
