I am reporting this fall for a friend. The information given is what he told me about this event. He observed this fireball hit the ground. I have recovered material from the fireball where he observed it fall. The land owner advised he had farmed this property for over twenty-two years and not observed this type of rocks in his field. There was a strewn field and the larger rocks landed in a deep field drainage ditch that was full of water. Additional samples were found approximately two miles away in a field owned by a judge who has farmed his property all his life and never seen this type of rock in his field either.
