Bernd:

My friend is Canadian and grew up near Edmonton, AB, so I do not think it could be Georgia (that would be one large fireball).? Perhaps another year, as he may be a bit older than he wants us to know.? Could Innisfree have hit a car?? I think this is 1977 (could he be 8 years off?) not sure.? He's told me this story a few times and it sounds legit.? Is it possible this did not get recorded and the person kept the meteorite?
