Trajectory of Debabov's bolide
Abstract
Field investigations were made in order to document a bolide whose dust train was photographed by D. G. Debabov on the Chukotka Peninsula on Oct. 19, 1941. The azimuthal coordinates of the dust train were measured and a probable trajectory was reconstructed for the bolide. The site at which the meteorites probably fell does not coincide with the site at which the Kifkakhsiagan iron meteorite was found in 1972.
