Odessa, Texas - A production company has chosen the Ector County meteor 
crater as their site to film a segment for a new reality show to be aired on 
the Discovery Channel.

Filming for the reality show called "Meteorite Men" began this morning.

The show follows the two professional meteorite hunters as they travel 
around the country in search of those rocks, which have fallen from space 
and landed on earth.

They use high-tech metal detectors and other gear to help them locate the 
rare rocks.

The meteorite hunters say Odessa's crater is one of the best locations for 
meteorite hunting on earth.

The production company had to get permission from Ector County Commissioners 
to film on the site.

Commissioners agreed to allow filming, as long as they cause no permanent 
damage to the crater.
