That's a definite possibility, Jeff.
There are hellacious winds at times in the part of Utah (south) I'm familiar
with.
Thanks for the road info, Count.
I flew over them in Google Earth.
Didn't spot any meteorites. ;^)

Was the wind strong at the time of the fall? This might impact the find
coordinates some.
Cheers,

Hi Greg and List,
Being quite familiar with the area.... if someone would provide
definitive position estimates of the location of the fall, I would
provide information on how to access the area. Safely. As of this
writing..it appears we are talking about East of Granite Mountain in an
area that would be accessible using State Highway 174..the Brush Road and
the old Granite Ranch Road (Pony Express Route). Depending on the plotted
trajectory...and I'm getting a few phone calls returned that indicate the
heavier material could of fallen well West of the Dugway Range Boundary.
I need more info. One of my friends at a cattle camp in the are swears he
heard sonic booms that were multiple and too close together to be
supersonic low level aircraft. Which frequent the area all the way to
Sevier Lake. Usually they project a single boom. These he claims were
sharper and at least three close,but seperate. He was sheltering from the
wind so did not see any visual phenomenem.
