First off, I?m back! We had a very successful ANSMET season this year and
collected 1010 meteorites (with probably a few terrestrials in there). The
weather was spectacular and allowed us to put about 750 miles on our
snowmobiles while searching.

As for this meteor ? I?ve pulled the radar data but I?m going to need a
better positional fix. That radar outside of Tucson is notoriously ?noisy?
for some reason. I?ll work on this further to see if something obvious pops
up in the meanwhile.

Cheers,
Marc Fries
