There will be chunks to be found I'll bet.... If you find some and want to send me a piece I'd be ok with that

I saw a fireball in Pennsylvania while sitting around the fire ring in my neighbor's yard last summer. Lit up the sky. I know that some people who have been lucky enough to recover a meteorite, made a nice profit when they sold it.
How much are meteorites worth?

My wife and I saw the flash of light reflect through the window and heard the explosion last night. It is actually a sign that winter will only last another 200 days here. Kinda like Ground Hog Day!

Pretty cool, saw that on the news today. I've seen a few in my lifetime that lit up everything like daytime, but never found a piece of one. Luckily no false incoming missile alerts went out, haha!

I saw one out here a year ago that looked like it may have come down not too far west of us. No boom though, just a bright streak of light. I'd sure like to find a big chunk of iron meteorite though, I saw a really nice looking knife blade made from a meteorite

You called it Nola Ken. A Mr. Robert Ward found THREE CHUNKS of space rock near Hamburg Township Michigan.
Saw it in the News this morning (JP Time / few minutes ago)

doesnt look like any meteor I've ever seen. Looks like a plane.

The folks in Detroit thought it was just a drive-by.

Since people have been finding small pieces of the meteorite, I decided I had to at least get out there too. Most of the specimens have been found on the frozen lakes covered in snow, so that shouldn't be too hard to spot them. The first lake I tried, I didn't see anything even close, just a few leaves. When the ice started to crack, I decided to hit a local park. The soccer fields on the park were covered with tracks from other people, so I moved off into the woods and figured I had to basically look for any disturbance in the snow that resembled a small rock passing through the snow.

I finally found a hole in the snow that appeared to have been formed by something that was warm. I carefully removed the snow and found nothing at the ground level. It finally dawned on me, the hole was from a mouse! Dang!

Depending on the type, they can be worth more than equivalent weight in gold.
