Any one wanting more can type in "WGN" to a search engine and get the Chicago TV station and the story there.
Best,

I want to know, do we have to? Why would the scientific community need all the stones? Is it like the old woman meteorite where they cut of 600 or so pounds to study?

Hello List,
I apologize for this post being so late, but I wasn't aware that Steve Arnold's post was still being questioned. I will only add to John Gwilliam's post to "re-confirm" his report.
I am the moderator of a discussion group known as "Bolide_Chasers" and I have just received a cell phone call that confirms that one of our own List members has already recovered several stones - to include a 200g chondrite that quote "...reminds one of Thuathe"!!
More to follow... Bob Verish

Hello List, After doing some additional research and making a few phone calls, it appears that BIG STEVE is not only correct, but is credited for breaking the news to our List.
I know that several of our dauntless meteorite hunters are either on location or in route.
This hunt will be very different than most of the chased falls in the past several years where the site was anything from semi-rural to outright remote.
Imagine...urban meteorite hunting.
At least when the dealers/hunters start laying down large sums of greenbacks in bars, fastfood restaurants, and parking lots, the locals won't be too suspicious. However, there may be more danger in South Chicago than in Africa;-)
