Overview

• UK Fireball Alliance has outlined a targeted search area after reconstructing the meteor’s path from 14 cameras, with fragments possibly weighing up to 10 kilograms.
• Smaller pieces are expected across Stob Coire, Easain and Chno Dearg, while larger chunks are most likely on or around the Ben Alder plateau.
• A University of Glasgow–led field team was forced to cut short an expedition by thunderstorms, and the organized search is paused as the group seeks funding for a return.
• Walkers are asked to photograph suspected fragments, record precise GPS coordinates, avoid handling or using magnets, and wrap small pieces in aluminum foil or a clean bag.
• Researchers warn that weathering rapidly degrades scientific information, and any confirmed recovery would be Scotland’s first meteorite find since 1917.
