The search for meteorites continues all over metro Detroit. NASA experts point toward Livingston County to find them.
Bill Cooke is the Meteoroid Environment Program Manager with NASA and he said the Doppler radar images show the meteorites from the meteor spotted on January 16 in Livingston County.
“The meteorites should be just south of M-36 between Hamburg and Lakeland,” said Cooke.
Cooke said Doppler is best way to track where they might be found.
"Doppler weather radar is a very good indicator because, when it picks up meteorites, the meteorites are fairly close to the ground, they're only a couple of miles up and generally you can find meteorites right under the Doppler radar signature,” said Cooke.
The news is surprising some folks living in the area. "I heard it covered from Canada all over the midwest, to be specified in this little area, it's shocking,” said Howell resident Dean Hamlin.

If it falls on your property, do you own it?
Nice news video about this, with a split-screen showing various videos, mostly from security cameras, of the fireball.

Yes.
Of course, who else would own it?
I live just a couple of miles west of this described “landing zone”. It’s a quite desolate, swampy area. The center of it contains the Hamburg Township Office area and park. I wasn’t there when the meteor fell.
in MaComb County near Selfridge Mich ANG AirBase.
