Meteorite hunters say they have recovered the first fragments from a June 1998 meteorite impact in the Casa Grande area. Sonny Clary writes on his
Nevada Meteorites blog that he and colleagues found a number of small meteorite pieces last week that they have sent off for identification and classification. [

In addition, they stumbled across numerous backpacks from drug smugglers and a human skeleton. You need to read his
blog post.
Thanks to Rob Reisener, who was a member of the discovery team, for sharing the news.
Sonny is a class act!!
