Never seen such a linear pattern for a meteor. Usually the brightness (and track) variation is extreme. Think you'd better bring a geiger counter with you on your search.... the Cosmos sats had nuclear reactors. :)) Nice job. gary Lucky Dude….right thru Andromeda galaxy.

I played wheel of fortune and craps at the casino. I did ok, but nothing to brag about. I was hoping to get that triple wheel and take home $20k. lol. Really I'm hoping to parlay my lucky streak into finding this thing. Thanks, Mike Carl,

For a price guide for meteorites recently witnessed and landing in the US: 1. go to ebay. 2. Search on "West meteorite" for current bids or prices asked. Currently over 40 items. 3. For actual prices paid, do a search on "completed" listings for "West meteorite". If found. they will be very valuable. Prices should be comparable. Landowners should not "give" them away except to valid educational institutions for study. Verify credentials of educational representatives. (A donation may qualify for a substantial charitable tax deduction. Get a letter from the institution.) Meteorite hunters will make a bundle on them. P.S. 454 grams in a pound! Great job!
