Hi Jim, For the benefit of the layman, can you explain why it is not possible for there to be a process whereby tornados or tornado- like atmospheric effects: 1. Pick up objects from the ground, including those similar in size and density to those under discussion here; 2. Transport them a considerable distance such that their 're- appearance' at ground level is not associated with the effects that caused them to be lifted aloft; 3. Cause these objects to be dropped back to the surface selectively at different times and places according to their size and/or density via a process analogous to fractional distillation.
