Its gone by a few other names so far, including the Baltimore Meteor, the PA Fireball and the Lancaster Meteor.

When the meteorites are found it will officially be named after the closest town to the fall, right? I suppose until that time comes the name is unofficial and different people call it different things. I’m really not sure who initially came up with the Mason Dixon Meteor name at first but I think it was the Baltimore Sun that popularized it.

Thanks for writing me. The email I sent you earlier was from my phone so I’m not sure if it made sense. What I was trying to say was if you could talk to your security people and see if they still have footage from July 6th, 2009 1:00-1:10. We have a lot of video footage already, but every additional piece we get helps narrow things down even more.

Also, I’ve gotten some good leads from the article. A very nice woman wrote me and said she heard a big bang that night outside her window and then noticed the next morning that her patio roof under the window was damaged. I saw her today (didn’t find any meteorites yet, but we didn’t search much, going back tomorrow to do full search). She said that she was watching Ghost Hunters at the time and the noise really scared her. So I was wondering, would your library have newspapers that might have tv listings for lancaster / New Holland on July 6th. The reason I ask is if we can pin down the time/date she heard the noise it will corroborate her story. e.g. if Ghost Hunters was not on at 1:00am July 6th, then maybe a kid jumped on the roof. If ghost hunters was on at 1:00 am then there should be meteorites in the backyard.

Thanks being interested in this and writing me.
