Keep it fresh in you memory, it may turn up well into the future.
Very cool !

Saw an interesting post regarding bullets shot straight up (or nearly) and how many folks are injured/killed each year from them.
Could have come from a loooong way off.

I highly doubt it was a meteorite. It's very rare for that to happen. Usually something like this turns out to be iron slag. We astronomy nuts hear this all the time.

Crowfoot was right, I was wrong. It was a .45cal FMJ bullet.

Just got my free permanent trapping license yesterday... compliments

Of NH F&G..turning 68 is great !!! ..lol

Free permanent Clamming / oyster license too

7.00 hunting fishing combo too

Way back in the early 80s a local small lake had an explosion and the local police thought someone was playing around with Dynamite but after the U of M got involved turned out it was a meteorite about the size of a BB, but it put a hole in the ice bigger then a two car garage and threw chunks of ice and water for hundreds of feet, so I don’t know what one hitting a building would do but I think a lot more then just a small hole as it’s moving at a velocity way faster then a stray or falling bullet

It couldnt have come from too far away .........................

If that's your initial thought, I think you'd be surprised.

I am pretty sure it came from the East and I have a neighbor that shoots a lot and i measured the distance from my pole building to his house and it is only 1613 feet. So, if they shot up in the air even slightly in my direction it could reach the building from a high elevation.

The bullets fired straight up in the air go up until they hit their full possible height. Then they fall at the same rate as if they were dropped from that height. Put an arc on the trajectory, and you have a different story.

The Navy did a study on a large open lake. They wanted to see how difficult it would be to shoot straight up in the air and have it come down in the exact same spot. They fired thousands of rounds and had a hard time getting them to a reasonably close distance when they hit the water. Eventually they got lucky and one bullet dropped right in the boat. Dented the aluminum a little bit but did not go through. Depending on the size of the bullet, I believe these were 45 cal, it could put a lump on your melon, but most would only hurt real bad.
