Mike Farmer Finds Texas Meteorite 19FEB09

I just heard that two University of North Texas (in Denton) researchers recovered two meteorites near West Texas where the fireball would have landed. Hopefully we can get more details on exactly where and what types they are. Source: Pat Branch, TX

Mike Farmer reports that he has also found stones from the fall!!!!
Looks like Mike Farmer (well-known Tucson hunter) found a piece too.
Here are pics and a video of them hunting.
