Fragments of last week's south Texas meteor have been found

Thanks Nate. Fragments of the meteor seen in the sky over South Texas last Wednesday have now been found after an exhausting search three days after the ground shaking sonic boom. The first fragment of that meteorite was found and recovered not far from the southern tip of Texas near Alsace. It was found on private property by planetary science researcher Robert Ward. We asked a meteor expert about the space debris. It's called an ordinary contract. Okay.

And if they call it ordinary just because 90% roughly 85% of all meteorites are this ordinary contract. And this one is pretty close to the size that was first found in Texas. My kanky from American Meteor Society. They're also told as a fragments are not radioactive and belong to the property owner if they're found on their land. The person searching for them only has claim if the property owner gave them permission to do so. How cool is that to find that? It is. And I knew it would just be a matter of time before we got some answers.

Everybody was talking about it when it happened.
