Hi Folks,

On another List, I heard a local man report that a large fireball was
seen in rural Mexico in April of 2009. According to his report,
meteorites were found, including one which is embedded in a tree.
But, meaningful details were sketchy. The man who reported it claimed
that he was going to the impact site soon and would report back.

Best regards,

MikeG
