A meteorite from this event was found in Kirkwood, Eastern Cape, South Africa. The meteorite appears to be from the HED group, likely a Howardite or Diogenite, a specimen of Asteroid 4 Vesta! -LMH...Tokyo

Please study! This site is a great reference about meteorites, written by Dr. Randy L. Korotev.

What to look for? Meteorite with black or dark brown Fusion Crust

https://www.lpi.usra.edu/publications/slidesets/marslife/slide_10.html

Freshly fallen meteorites may smell like burnt, like sulphur or like gun powder.

Generally, they are heavier than the average Earth rock.

If you find a meteorite, document with camera photos before disturbing the scene, get the GPS location, and mark the spot.

Please if possible DO NOT TOUCH WITH BARE HANDS, this contaminates the meteorite; wrap in aluminium foil, put some dry rice in a jar and add the wrapped meteorite or fragments and seal. DO NOT USE A MAGNET, as this destroys the magnetic memory in the rock. A sample needs to be supplied ASAP for Cosmic Radiation Studies and Gas Studies. Please email me @ LunarMeteoriteHunter@gmail.com Worldwide there are 2-4 labs that do these studies. Thank you!

People in the local area first check the roads for smashed rocks on the blacktop or look for black burnt-looking rocks on graveled roads. Check roofs, windows for holes. THEN, begin a good search in the area surrounding where the one rock was found. Good luck. This is a sample of Asteroid 4 Vesta! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4_Vesta
