U of C planetary scientist Dr. Alan Hildebrand and graduate student Ellen Milley said Friday morning they located several meteorite fragments late Thursday afternoon. They believe thousands of meteorite bits are strewn over a 20-square-kilometre area near the Battle River. They're planning to take reporters to the as-yet undisclosed site — about 40 kilometres from Lloydminister — Friday afternoon. The fireball that streaked across western Canadian skies on Nov. 20 was witnessed by thousands. Researchers believe it was a 10-tonne fragment from an asteroid. It was also captured on video by a number of people. Best Wishes to those that are out seaarching!!! Dirk Ross...Tokyo I am waiting for the announcement of a crater or two made by the impactors!!!!
