[FPSPACE] Mars-96 Impact Location --Wreckage found

[Keith Gottschalk]

            Bolivia is not the Antarctic or Devon Island. Even its deserts are cris-crossed by lithium prospectors. For those with such resources, satellite imagery could be trawled through to speed up searching. Or aerial-flown geiger counters might pick up a spike. Good luck to researchers.

Wow, I have no memory of ever seeing this report. I wonder
what the source was, and if there was any follow-up -- such as
photographs of the recovered debris.

Caution is required -- even as the recent UARS fall reminds us, most
junk attributed to 'space wreckage' turns out to have entirely prosaic
origin.

How do we pursue this very cold trail? Any contacts at 'Flight' that we
can ask?
