Pieces of fireball meteor that exploded over USA are being found

Parts of a flaming meteor seen flying April 27 over southwest
Mississippi are being found in the Natchez area, NASA said
(https://bit.ly/3LOSPXf).
The “bright fireball” was traveling at 35,000 mph
(https://youtu.be/bmnUVjRiLlk) when it exploded at 8:03 a.m.
with the “energy equivalent of 3 tons of TNT,” according to
NASA Meteor Watch, the agency's project that tracks fireball
activity.
“Existing law states that any meteorites belong to the owner of
the property on which they fell; out of respect for the privacy of
those in the area, we will not disclose the locations of these
finds,” NASA says.
A photo of one of the meteorite pieces was shared May 2 on
Facebook, and it resembled a deep black chunk of charcoal
with gray spots. It likely hit ground flying at “200-300 miles
per hour,” experts say.
NASA says it is not playing a role in authenticating whether the
discoveries are meteorites. The meteor is believed to have been
an asteroid fragment “about a foot in diameter with a weight
of 90 pounds,” NASA said.
It was first spotted 54 miles over the Mississippi River and
disintegrated at a height of 34 miles, near the border of Adams
and Franklin counties, NASA said. That is slightly east of what
was originally thought to be the meteor’s track, which originally
was thought to end over a swampy area of Louisiana.
The same update noted the number of witnesses has doubled,
from 30 to more than 60 from Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas,
the agency says.
“The fragmentation ... created shock waves that propagated to the
ground, producing the booms and vibrations felt by individuals in
the area,” according to NASA. “At its peak, the fireball was over
ten times brighter than the full moon.”
Verified meteorites “can be worth a fair amount of money,”
depending on the type, NASA said.
“However, the majority are ‘ordinary chondrites’ which are fairly
common,” NASA says.
“The pieces from this object were way too small to leave a crater.
Unlike what you see in the movies, meteorites are not ‘flaming rocks
of doom’ that blast holes in the ground. In fact, you can pick one up
right after it hits ground. So no smoking rocks in small craters.”
NASA said it is declining to verify the meteorite discoveries.
Instead, the agency is referring finders to a website for Washington
University in St. Louis for help making a proper identification.
