Extract

The fall of this meteorite, which took place at 1.15 p.m. on December 8, 1917, was witnessed by many people over a large area. The circumstances were investigated immediately by Mr. Henry Coates who has given in a paper already published full and accurate details of the appearance of the meteorite as it described its path, the direction in which it travelled, and the noise caused by its explosion. Fragments were recovered at four different localities lying on a line running from South Corston in Forfarshire north-westwards for about six miles to Easter Essendy in Perthshire, and the following table gives the particulars of the weights and localities of the various pieces.
