On February 25, 2016 Rob Matson reported on the meteorite-list that meteorites of the bolide above Texas (USA) on February 17, 2016 at 9:44:11 pm CST (UTC-6) have been found in the east of Lubbock in Texas (USA):<\/p>\n

“Just want to report that the west Texas bolide that occurred one week <\/span>ago on the evening of 17 February 2016 is officially a fall: the second<\/span>
\n successful radar-enabled recovery of 2016 (following Osceola, Florida) <\/span>as well as Texas’ second Doppler-cued recovery (the first of course <\/span>being Ash Creek almost exactly seven years ago). Congratulations to <\/span>the persistent meteorite recovery team who walked the many miles to <\/span>make this another success story! –Rob” (Rob Matson) <\/span><\/p>\n

[…]<\/span><\/p>\n

“Some further information about the circumstances leading to the successful <\/span>meteorite recovery east of Lubbock, TX. First off, Mike Hankey deserves special <\/span>notice since often the first indication we have of a new potential fall is the<\/span>AMS website that he maintains. Marc Fries was the first to spot the nice <\/span>Lubbock radar returns for this fall — less than 18 hours after the event! I <\/span>compiled those, and additional returns I found in the Amarillo radar, and <\/span>then went on a search for seismic signatures or videos that could be used <\/span>to pin down the time of the event. One Youtube video surfaced right away, <\/span>taken from a dashcam on highway 183 near Euless, Texas:” (Rob Matson)<\/span><\/p>\n
