I've heard that this might be a witnessed fall. There was a fireball in the
area a few years prier to the find in the orchard. There is VERY little
rust and the fusion crust is intact. When I got the specimen, I also
received the original paperwork that King and Van Buckwald did on the
specimen. As far as I know, there are three specimens. The main mass
(1.6kg), 104.4g in TCU and the rest in Johnson Space Centre.
 

I will post some picts of the piece if anybody is interested.
