But neither can't remember where. Best!

I read somewhere that some fragments were found prior to the trajectory and orbital calculations. Can anyone confirm this with a reference? LOST CITY - First triangulated meteor photographed by the Prairie Network in the U.S.A. Fell 3 Jan 1970 and found 9 Jan 1970. Total wt. 17kg. - I read somewhere that other fragments from this fall have since been recovered. Can anyone confirm this with a reference? INNISFREE - Fell 5 Feb 1977 - Photographed by the Canadian MORP Fireball Network - 11 days later a 2.07 kg sample was found a few hundred meters from the predicted computer projection. 8 other fragments have since been found, Total mass 3.79 kg.
