As Hurricane Ian made landfall on the Florida coast, a new meteorite made landfall in western Georgia! More than 1 kg has been recovered now. The material appears to be H Chondrite, similar to Chelyabinsk and Ash Creek. #meteorites #georgia

@CardinalAndPine @ametsoc We are working on locating meteorites from this fall. Would it be possible to get the timestamp from the video? We need the exact time of entry to align with seismic data.
