List,
I have a question;
I met a lady that swears she witnessed a meteorite fall in Potter, or Rushville, in the state of New York on her grandfathers farm. His name was Floyd Lafler. . Potter is just south of Rochester. . She was about 7 years old around 1928. A meteorite fell and she heard detonations and her whole house shook. When her family went outside they observed a large iron meteorite about the size of a large desk. She said it even smelled bad.
Later some men in suits came with a large trailer and hauled the thing away. She is looking for any information about the fall.
I get nothing on a Google search. Is there any way to find out if this exists or what could have happened to this meteorite? Thanks.
