Dear List Members,
I have a very important announcement to make and one I am sure everyone will be
very excited about. Most of you have already heard the news about the fireball
which was sighted over Southern Arizona at 9:22 pm on the evening of Tuesday
June 23. I would like to announce that I have recovered material from this
fall. I recovered a 155.6 gram stone at 6:20 pm on Thursday, June 25, which
is 44 hours and 58 minutes after the fireball was sighted. Fortunately the
material recovered was recovered in an absolutely pristine state as the area
had no monsoon season rainfall previous to my discovery. I was able to very
quickly zero in on the area with the help of numerous phone calls and
eyewitness reports which were all thoroughly investigated with follow up
visits. With GPS, compass and notepad in hand, I put well over 300 miles on my
vehicle in less than two days. The area people were extremely excited about
this event and more than willing
to offer whatever information they had about the sighting. I was born and
raised in this part of Arizona and my intimate knowledge of the country, the
terrain, the trails and back roads has proved invaluable in my search.
I have sent a photo to Michael Johnson and requested he post it on Rocks from
Space Picture of the Day for July 4.
I would like to also take this opportunity to extend my very best wishes to
each and every one of you for a very pleasant holiday. Happy 4th of July!
Jack Schrader
