Hello Mike, The meteorite was recovered after the finder responded to a want ad put up by a member of the Kansas Meteorite Society. The finder was out hunting (pheasant or quail IMO) and thought he heard something fall in some trees near him. A couple days later the hunter returns to the location and finds the meteorite, which appears to be very fresh.
Jerry is the better person to ask on the details as he was more involved in the transaction then I was and it was six months ago, so take this as a third hand recollection. No one seen it fall and it didn't hit any man made items so it is not a fall, although it looks fresh enough to be one.
