Steve, the brightness alone causes me to doubt this was an asteroid. It's more
likely to have been a satellite, although that isn't for certain either. How

There are no NEOs anywhere near that bright. The only orbiting object
that bright is the ISS. Most likely, this was a VERY near Earth object,

Hello Jim, Michael, All,
I'm not so sure about that. Our team made the majority of its finds
along roadsides because it was the easiest place to spot meteorites.
Hunting in grass as your team did (Mike Hankey) is all very well for
finding larger stones (and congrats on your find). But - smaller
Jason,
I agree with what you are saying. Most of the finds are going to come
from the easier/clear spots where the most people are looking hardest.
I do think the majority of the finds are being recorded properly, but
there have been some that have not been. Jim, I don't want to get into

Copperhead? I'm not aware of copperheads in California. I've never heard
of any here and I've lived here nearly 66 years. Perhaps you are thinking of
the non lethal gopher snake
On closer inspection to the corpse (the snake's not my wife's) and there is one
little rattle, no wonder we couldn't hear it, it didn't have anything to rattle
against.

George: you are right, the gopher snake and the king snake can both look
