| Sumario: | This work studies the characteristics of the steel slag heaps that have accumulated in the vicinity of the Andalusia motorway from km-11 to km-22, and throws new light on two traffic accidents attributed to meteorite impacts. Samples were collected from 13 sites at the side of this section of the Andalusia motorway, from the Aristrain and Varosa (Madrid) smelting factories and from the two cars inside BMW- 1994 and LADA-1999. The magnetic susceptibility, specific gravity, X-ray diffraction and ESEM analyses of samples were determined and the photographs of the ‘meteorite-impacted’ cars studied. The composition, textures and structures of these samples and the trajectories of the projectiles that hit the cars (circa 25º from the horizontal) together suggest that these accidents were caused not by falling meteorites, but by slag thrown either from the roadside or from overpasses |
