Hunting the Nighttime Fireball of the Buzzard Coulee Meteorite

This documentary follows meteorite hunters chasing the spectacular nighttime fireball of the Buzzard Coulee meteorite, which fell in Canada in November 2008. Landing just before winter snow preserved the fragments, the fall offered a rare scientific prize. It joins the searchers as they hunt for pieces of rock from space and study what they reveal. Engaging and hands-on, it turns meteorite recovery into a genuine scientific adventure. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
