I never heard anything about it on the news or anyone finding one in the area which it was traveling. I'm trying to find a map of finds in Kansas to see if someone possibly found the one I saw traveling north of my location. What I'm getting at is that I need a map of Kansas finds. Do you know where I can get one? Years ago, I saw a meteorite flying through the sky but not where it landed.

It has the listing of meteorites found before 2004 arrainged according to state and a brief bit of info about it plus the probable gps cordinates (or google map it). The library and public records at the courthouse will become your best friends after that. Nobody is going to do the research for you. Remember, the guys on tv do it for a living. http://www.meteorites4sale.net/Locations/MLocations.htm good luck and happy hunting! Here is a useful link to help get started.

It was the biggest one I have ever seen. I heard the sonic boom as well as what sounded like it hitting the earth a few seconds after the fire ball burned out in the sky. I was in perris when I saw it. it lit up the whole city and was south of my location traveling from NW to SE. It was in the summer time and around 2100 if I can remember right. Thanx.....

So glad to find a meteorite information site like this. Still having trouble finding a map with location of local meteorite finds. I live in Central Kansas and love watching The Meteorite Men on the Science Channel. They briefly showed a map marking all the 142 meteorite finds in Kansas while explaining that Kansas has lots of meteorite finds. I have always loved collecting rocks where ever I go, so, looking for meteorites is just an extension of my interest in rocks. I suspect they are everywhere, with some being too deep to easily find, but I want to see where and how existing ones have been found in my area. Hi!

The Meteorite Men on the Science Channel continue to find lots in areas thought to be thoroughly picked over.

You might do a search so you can confirm the details and maybe find video or other info to the pinpoint the location where it may have gone down. It may have burnt up in the atmosphere, though, but could be fun to follow up on. The Meteorite Men on the Science Channel chase after new fireball reports quite often since those are exciting and worth more and have valuable info for scientific research, so don't be discouraged.

I figure they are everywhere, just some are maybe very deep, but, I have always noticed unusual rocks and now remember some that might have been meteorites (rounded with darker crust, lighter inside where they had broken). Now, I will look more closely! I live in Kansas and am glad to hear many have been found all over the state. Thanks again! Thanks for encouraging us enthusiastic newbies!
