     IMLAY CITY (UPI) - A search was to begin today for a meteorite which 
may have fallen into a field about 1 1/2 miles from here in Lapeer County.
     A Michigan State University meteorologist, Van Chamberlain, said he 
would probe the area for a trace of the object which apparently made a 
three-foot hole in the snowbound landscape, threw dirt in a 50 feet radius 
and left signs of intense heat.
     Residents of the area reported they saw a flash of light, believed to 
be a meteorite, last Thursday.

Mark note: Meteorites A to Z does not show any meteorite fall for this 
location and time.  Report is somewhat convincing though.
