Odessa, Texas - A production company has chosen the Ector County meteor
crater as their site to film a segment for a new reality show to be aired on
the Discovery Channel.

Filming for the reality show called "Meteorite Men" began this morning.

The show follows the two professional meteorite hunters as they travel
around the country in search of those rocks, which have fallen from space
and landed on earth.

They use high-tech metal detectors and other gear to help them locate the
rare rocks.

The meteorite hunters say Odessa's crater is one of the best locations for
meteorite hunting on earth.

The production company had to get permission from Ector County Commissioners
to film on the site.

Commissioners agreed to allow filming, as long as they cause no permanent
damage to the crater.
