Two of the astronomers at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh were on permanent meteorite watch. They used to get calls about twice a year and dash off in a car. Never did find one while I was there, though.

I was going to say that I hope it landed safely, the fireball, that is.

Johnstown is always getting flooded with some nonsense or other. I remember a meteor back in the fifties had a nice soft landing, lucky for it the woman it landed on was somewhat large.
