Nice job with the website updates and thank you for your efforts to help keep us and others looking for this sensational fall. The combination of the brilliant fireball and tremendous sonic boom is a story in itself. Videos then lead us towards finding it with science telling us where it is…that would be a great story. We also have your insane photo and its’ contribution.

You mentioned I was a meteorite hunter…Not sure about that, but maybe with time. I’ve been a rock hound all my life, and a meteorite collector for almost 10 years. I’m always on the look out for meteorites. Still looking for find #1. This is my first real hunt.

With that said, if nothing is found and we all slowly fade away from our searching, I will always cherish this chase and the excitement it brought. I have a new level of appreciation for those who do this on a regular basis. It takes effort for sure. Finding the first piece from a new fall is obviously the key, with no matter to me as to who finds this one. I hope it is an Amish person. Once found, the real hunt begins for many others.

Bottom line, meteorite hunting in a particular area must be a lot easier (mentally) I imagine if you know other specimens have been found before. Or maybe it actually becomes more frustrating if you in turn can’t find one yourself, where previously found??

Belief in the model’s predictions for this one is our only hope at this point to continue to spread the news and search. Let’s give it our best shot this fall !
