The Ash Creek meteorite, formerly known as the West, Texas meteorite, fell the morning of Feb 15, 2009. Seen from Austin and caught on film, it was headed west. It was seen from Dallas, Houston, Fredericksburg and other places in Texas. The sonic boom of the explosion rocked McLennan county. Near the small town of Birome, some windows were broken.
I was on News 8 within 36 hours predicting the meteorite would be found near Waco. The first reports of stones found came from the Mike Farmer team. The next morning I was in West at the strewnfield. The timing was bad, plowing was about to happen and we had to work fast. My first trip was 48 hours and I was mainly securing land permissions and trying to determine the strewnfield direction. The second trip I got to hunt more and recovered one stone.
