On April 14, 2010, a fireball lit up the night sky. The sonic boom was heard for miles. As perhaps, the most publicized meteorite fall in history, swarms of meteorite hunters flooded the scene in hopes of securing a piece of this famed fireball.

“Meteorites are worth more when untouched” *Proceeds to touch every meteorite they find
First, they say that they're worth more untouched... and then pick up all the meteorites with bare hands... smh
that kind of friendship is rare
One just dropped over Europe and landed right in the middle of a city a few days ago
Awesome I live 20 minutes from Livingston. I remember when this happened it sounded like a bomb going off and the entire sky lit up.
Just saw one last night too in Wisconsin driving on the interstate during midnight haha
Surprised that a drone was not in your tool bag.
The fragments are more valuable than gold.
if u seen one hit the ground what would u do to keep it from contamination and who would u contact
The reason why the Rye Chopper which is just a self-propelled Chopper that can chop anything, didn't pick up much is because the Rye was raked! Usually tines on a wheel spin whatever forage product there is and it all falls into a roll,, anything heavy is going to Simply fall out! I don't understand why they didn't try to use a magnet like roofers or contractors use? It's a magnet that's usually two three feet plus wide, that rolls about an inch or less off the ground. It's strong enough to pick up nails and bolts!😮😂😂😊
At 28:20 they touch the rock with their hands 😭😭
Thanks genius. The only ones they didn't touch were the ones on the road. Your timestamp is meaningless when they touched the rocks through the entire video lol
"Meteorite Men" that don't always use metal detectors??? And "Asteroids" are made of ice, right? Nothing Like revising history!
The whole sensational docudrama yeah baby bs of this is unbearable. Absolute crap.
I wonder, could this fireball have been some piece of space junk that is orbiting our planet? Maybe a small piece off of a 50 to 60 year old satellite?
Who fkn cares. Meteorite. Pointless.
