Not sure what you read in the article but, I got that he thought the meteor could
have been as big as 5 feet in diameter and was hoping that someone could find
a softball size sample. It is a wet and very wooded area with no roads. Oh, other
SWAGS were, Canyon Diablo: size of a house, Chelyabinsk: size of a bus,
Almahata Sita: size of a van.

I honestly hope they find a piece that large, and that they find it by this summer or fall before the first big snow in the area.
