Professional and amateur meteorite hunters have flocked to southwest Wisconsin, to look for pieces of last weekâ??s meteor that lit up the night sky throughout the Upper Midwest. The Field Museum of Chicago has a team in Iowa County, along with the UW-Madison Geology Museum.
Geochemistry professor John Slaughter says the museum could put out a display this week with 6 or more pieces of the space rock. Ruben Garcia, a professional hunter, says the search has apparently not yielded as much as it should.
