Some very small material may have been recovered from this fall by dragging a strong magnet through the snow. The particles recovered are tiny melted spheres, approximately the same size as the period at the end of this sentence.
Material this small may come from the meteor. It could also come from terrestrial sources - power plants, industry, or other activities that produce tiny melted beads. Analysis is underway at this time, and we will post an update with the results.
