Steve, That is correct. A triangulation of three or more points will pin down your point of impact. This certainly COULD also be used in Arizona to locate the secret area 51 producing the H5s?. Steve if you are lucky you may be able to find a seismologist that would do the work for you.

folks... my take: this putative fall is unlikely to generate a seismic signal if pieces hit the ground at terminal free-fall velocity (several hundred mph for really large chunks, much less for smaller ones). meanwhile, I've analyzed Mike Hankey's photo. assuming the bolide was 1:10 am local

Impacts don't create seismic events (unless they are hypervelocity, in which case they are easily located by the resulting crater!). The seismic events sometimes recorded are produced by atmospheric shock waves created by the fireball. And like video records, they only help establish a location

Dirk, Yea, it is hard to answer the question: What are meteorites worth? Personally I don't like to lie to people and say they are not worth anything. Especially when a simple search on ebay will show that meteorites are indeed worth from around 5 cents a gram up to $1,000 a gram.

Speaking of debris a lot of dust is generated in these trails that settles to the ground after the event so someone please remember to sample the surfaces of felled trees, gutter spouts, etc. looking for micrometeorite spheres. I second the motion. In the event that no meteorites turn up, a
