Dear List Members,
I have a very important announcement to make and one I am sure everyone will
be very excited about. Most of you have already heard the news about the
fireball which was sighted over Southern Arizona at 9:22 pm on the evening
of Tuesday June 23. I would like to announce that I have recovered material
from this fall. I recovered a 155.6 gram stone at 6:20 pm on Thursday, June
25, which is 44 hours and 58 minutes after the fireball was sighted.
Fortunately the material recovered was recovered in an absolutely pristine
state as the area had no monsoon season rainfall previous to my discovery. I
was able to very quickly zero in on the area with the help of numerous phone
calls and eyewitness reports which were all thoroughly investigated with
follow up visits. With GPS, compass and notepad in hand, I put well over 300
miles on my vehicle in less than two days. The area people were extremely
excited about this event and more than willing
 to offer whatever information they had about the sighting. I was born and
raised in this part of Arizona and my intimate knowledge of the country, the
terrain, the trails and back roads has proved invaluable in my search.

I have sent a photo to Michael Johnson and requested he post it on Rocks
from Space Picture of the Day for July 4.

I would like to also take this opportunity to extend my very best wishes to
each and every one of you for a very pleasant holiday. Happy 4th of July!

Jack Schrader
