Head-sized Meteorite Found From Canadian Fireball

Head-sized Meteorite Found From Canadian Fireball Several more fragments have been found from the 10-ton asteroid that exploded over western on November 20, including a head-sized piece weighing 13-kilograms (28 lbs). Imagine that landing on your house or car (or head!). University of Calgary professor Alan Hildebrand, who is leading the search estimates there could be 2,000 fragments per hectare (about 2.5 acres) in the area near where fragments were initially found. The asteroid is becoming known as the Buzzard Coulee fireball, named after the picturesque, but luckily uninhabited valley where the first pieces were located.
