Hamburg (H4)

Hamburg (H4)

0.98 gram end section from the Atkins recovery.
On 16 January 2018 around 20:10 EST, a fireball was observed and reported by hundreds of people from seven states. The fireball was recorded by multiple security cameras and registered as a 2.0 magnitude earthquake. Mike Hankey (AmMS) calculated the trajectory within one hour. A strewnfield map was produced by Marc Fries (JSC) using weather radar data from radar reflections of falling meteorites. The first fragment was found on 18 January 2018 at 7:50 EST by Robert Ward on Strawberry Lake near Hamburg, Michigan. Five other masses, ranging from 17 to 102.6 g, were found later the same day by Ward, Larry Atkins, and Darryl Landry on Strawberry and Bass Lakes. Thirteen additional pieces were found within two weeks of the fall.
