Reports Report 8415a (Event 8415-2023)

| Name | TIFFANY C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | A couple of days after thinking I heard loud lighting; I did find a black "rock" that stood out in a bed of neutral-colored rocks. I normally pick up the prettier sparkly rocks, but this one stood out and was heavy. I took interest in it, but I put it off since I was in the process of moving out of state. Now, I am fully invested on figuring what this is, as I have a pretty good idea that it may be some type of iron meteorite from that night in Sep 2023. |
