Hi Folks, On another List, I heard a local man report that a large fireball was seen in rural Mexico in April of 2009. According to his report, meteorites were found, including one which is embedded in a tree. But, meaningful details were sketchy. The man who reported it claimed that he was going to the impact site soon and would report back.
