It was the Western Australia fireball caught on video. I had about 20,000
hits in the month after it. Nothing else has come close to driving that much
general meteorite searching on the web that I know of in the past few years.
Quite remarkable!

Dear List Members,
I loaded some great specimens this week making for several excellent
auctions, some very reasonably priced with Buy-it-Nows for those who do not
want to wait. Be sure to check out at least the highlights because there is
some great stuff including a Very Rare CK5 MAIN MASS!.
Adam, Michael Cottingham and I recovered the first non-Antarctic CK5 (NWA
060) on our first trip to Morocco, it was only a few hundred grams but
looked like it fell seconds before. Weathering was W0.
