i saw a meteorite fall in khammam district, andhra in 2005, that is in september around 9pm unfortunately it fell in paddy fields which was damp, so it is impossible for me to get that and also some houses are there aroung that crops , even now i feel very sad about that, that was so close nealy 5 meters distance to my right hand side as i was going home, big may be palm size fire ball, i even heard light buzz sound, it produced trail colours yellow, pale red/orange.

instead of bending down, he could make a long pole/stick with a magnet on the end

so how do the meteorwrongs get out into the middle of what was once a lake? In the stomach of fish? I don't know - do you?

Apparantly bad meteor jokes are more abundant then the rocks themselves...like.leverite as in Leave-it-right there or the classic Meteor-Wrong

[trailkeeper]

In an open area like that its easier to find a metorite, especially since it "sticks out" and is not burried by the surrounding earth.

Does anyone know of something like a "density of metorites" that can possibly be found in an area, like how many pounds or number of meteorites?

[trailkeeper]

Ok, then its about 1 meteorite per square mile over a long time.
