"Race to Find Meteorite for $25k Reward"

The Maine Mineral and Gem museum is offering a $25,000 reward for the first 2.2 lb (1kg) specimen of a meteorite that landed near the US-Canada border in April. The museum is also offering to buy any other pieces of meteorite rock recovered from the event. The meteorites are projected to have landed in an area by the US-Canada border between Waite, Maine and Canoose, New Brunswick. The museum said the cash prize will be open to both Canadians and Americans. The event was seen in broad daylight and Nasa spotted radar data of meteorites descending from the sky as the fireball was making its landing.
