Fragments of a huge meteorite that lit up the skies across Alberta and Saskatchewan last week have been found near the border city of Lloydminster, University of Calgary scientists say.
U of C planetary scientist Dr. Alan Hildebrand and graduate student Ellen Milley said Friday morning they located several meteorite fragments late Thursday afternoon.
They believe thousands of meteorite bits are strewn over a 20-square-kilometre area near the Battle River.
They’re planning to take reporters to the as-yet undisclosed site — about 40 kilometres from Lloydminister — Friday afternoon.
The fireball that streaked across western Canadian skies on Nov. 20 was witnessed by thousands. Researchers believe it was a 10-tonne fragment from an asteroid.
It was also captured on video by a number of people.
Hey Snap I was thinking the other day, I wonder what happened on the military base in Cold Lake when that think went over 😆
