Scientific paper

A further attempt is made to find the parent of the Farmington meteorite, previously determined to be a fragment of an Apollo asteroid. Analysis of the secular orbit evolution of 10 candidate asteroids shows that Farmington's last parent does not occur among the Apollo asteroids presently known. Allowance for close encounters of the asteroids with the terrestrial planets will not alter this conclusion.
