He didn't see the fireball in the sky on Nov. 20, but planned to go hunting for space rocks after news came down that the meteor may have exploded into thousands of pieces in the region.

Now that he knows he has meteorites, he isn't sure what to do with them. They belong to the owners of the land on which they fall. So far, about a dozen small pieces have been located, all on frozen ponds because that's where they are most visible.
