Dilulio and Preston Starr, the observatory manager at the University of North Texas, have found the meteorites, Wednesday at 17 am, 2 hours after the beginning of their research began in Fort Worth, thanks to calculate inferred from all the witnesses they received.(from www.corsicanadailysun.com article) DiIulio said he and Starr wound their way to West and stopped at the Czech Bakery for a snack. A farmer, how noticed their official NASA-UNT outfits, approached them and asked what they were doing.“Are you guys looking for the sonic boom that rattled my walls?” DiIullio recalled the farmer asking. The farmer told the professors they should head southeast of West. DiIulio and Starr spotted the sheriff and a deputy at a gas station near the location provided by the farmer. The deputy owned some land nearby and offered to help them find the meteorite. At 5 p.m., after walking a few minutes down a gravel road, Starr and DiIulio spotted it - a small, charcoal-colored ball. Five minutes later, they found another. They didn’t use any fancy electronics - just a map, truck and their eyes. “Imagine that,” DiIulio said. “A little piece of charcoal sitting on a gravel - right there.” (from The Dallas Morning News/Sarah Perry articles)
