[meteorite-list] Guatemala fireball

[brian burrer]

Hi Listees,

I received an email today from Melchor, Guatemala at the Belize
border.  A fireball complete with large detonation and earth trembles
just before 9:00 last night.  It appears to have headed inland perhaps
towards the ruins at Tikal.  This is an area (the Peten) that can make
Sutter's Mill look like a cakewalk; dense growth, little open ground
and increasing drug-related crime (usually road bandit robberies) will
limit the numbers of hunters.  There are likely 820,000 year old
tektites near there as well.  With a little luck you could recover
both tektites and meteorites from the same field!

Happy hunting,
Brian
