> CALGARY -- Researchers are hoping someone has a
> photograph or video of the biggest meteor to fall in Alberta
> in 40 years so they can tell where it landed.
>
> Alan Hildebrand, a planetary scientist at the University of
> Calgary, says the meteor was an asteroidal fragment that
> weighed five to 10 tonnes, about 1.5 meters in diameter.
>
> Hildebrand says it was travelling at roughly 20 kilometres
> per second and this was probably the biggest rock to fall on
> Alberta since 1960.''
>
> The flaming rock was seen streaking north across the
> Alberta sky near the British Columbia boundary on October
> 14th at around 2:20 a.m.
>
> It exploded over the northern part of Banff National Park
> with a deafening boom that could be heard 150 kilometers
> away.
>
> Eyewitnesses reported seeing hundreds of pieces of the
> rock falling to the ground, however, freshly fallen snow
> may delay the hunt for particles until next spring.
