SUMMARY

This is a possible meteorite fall originating from a slow-moving fireball that followed a shallow entry trajectory into the Earth's atmosphere. The fireball fragmented towards the end of its path and appeared to slow down, both of which are suggestive that a meteorite fall may have occurred.

A single radar signature appears in data from the KCXX radar outside Burlington, VT. This signature appears in a radar sweep otherwise clear of noise, at a time and place adjacent to the fireball terminus as reported by the Fripon allsky camera network.

If this fireball produced a meteorite fall it is likely low mass and will be challenging to recover.

METEORITES 101

This step-by-step guide will show you how to locate possible meteorite fall sites using radar software and weather data along with info provided by reporting agencies and monitoring systems.
These instructions will show you how to best preserve the meteorites you discover and how to make contact with the organizations that are willing to accept and analyze your find.
Don't know exactly what a meteorite is, what they are made of or where they come from? If that's the case, we have provided a mini-"crash" course in what you need to know about them.
It turns out that meteorites have provided us a lot of scientific insight, not only into the origins of our solar system and planet Earth, but what the future might hold for mankind.
There's a lot going on in the study of meteorites, both here at NASA and in other places. Here are a few links to the people and institutions who are leading the research in this field.
