Arizona Meteor/Meteorite News- AZ Meteorite Found by Mike Farmer 27AUG09

This meteorite fell on June 23, 2009 at ~11 pm in southern Arizona. A large fireball was seen from the Mexican border to central Arizona. A friend of mine found pieces less than 48 hours after the fall, so I rushed home from Germany to search. After two weeks, I finally found one of the best stones, a 130 gram flight-oriented specimen covered in flow lines. To date we have found a total of 16 stones weighing a total of 2.5 kilograms.
