Meteorite Fragment Is Found By Farmer
Denver Scientists Says Many More May Be Picked Up In Parts Of Nebraska
CRAWFORD. Neb., April 23 - (AP) - Discovery by Russell Locker farmer south of Glen. of a fourth fragment of meteorite which fell last August 8. today confirmed Dr. H. H Nininger in his opinion many pieces landed in this area.
"Several sections located 10 miles south of Glen and the same distance east and north of Agate," the curator of meteorites at the Colorado museum of natural history said, "offer the best field for hunters of fragments. All large pieces are probably buried and lost."
Although trained as a biologist, Dr. Nininger said "My hobby for meteors ran away with me, and now it's a profession." The man who makes his living chasing meteors has collected 2,000 fragments in the last 11 years.
Coming here from central Nebraska, where he has been investigating a meteor fall. Dr. Nininger predicted fragments will be found in northwest Logan and eastern McPherson counties.
