Hi, Greg, List,
IF a meteorite were to fall near McPherson, Kansas or
in McPherson County, it would be a marvelous kind of
coincidence. It was while teaching at McPherson College
(in McPherson, of course), that H. H. Nininger first
became interested in meteorites and eventually left
his job there to become a meteorite hunter, researcher,
and scholar.
It would be satisfying to have a McPherson meteorite.

At 3:07 a.m. Tuesday, McPherson County Communications
officers received several reports from citizens and law enforcement
officers
regarding a large blue light falling from the sky. Dispatchers spoke
with
Saline and Reno County authorities and were advised that
they had also received reports of this phenomena.
The National Weather Service in Wichita, was
contacted and they advised they had received a report of this from
Lincoln County.
The general consensus is that it was a meteorite, however there is no
determination as to where it made impact.
