Meteorite Men | S02 E05 | Wisconsin Fireball

The Meteorite Men are on their way to the Northeast Astronomy Forum (NEAF) in New York -- one of the world's top astro and telescope events -- for a personal appearance, when a massive fireball lights up the sky over rural Wisconsin. Geoff continues on to NEAF to hold down the fort, while Steve begins an all-night drive to the fall site. Later, Geoff takes the MM's custom Orange County Chopper motorcycle to meet Steve and, together, they attempt to solve the mystery of the Mifflin meteorite fall. Locals turn out in huge numbers to try and find their own space rocks, and the guys begin training the next generation of meteorite hunters. EXCLUSIVE TRIVIA BY HOST GEOFF NOTKIN The director of NEAF, seen in this episode, Alan Traino, reached out to the Meteorite Men in 2009 and asked them to be the keynote speakers at the forum, which is one of the world's foremost astronomy events. The MM's keynote went over so well that they were invited back and returned to speak and exhibit multiple time during the years that followed. Geoff and Alan became very good friends and Alan founded the Astronomy, Science, and Arts Expo in Tucson, which was covered by NASA, and at which Geoff was also a keynote speaker. Alan went meteorite hunting in the Sahara with the Meteorite Men during 2019. He was an expert caver (spelunker) and worked on studying and protecting the endangered bats that lived in some of the caves he explored. Sadly, he passed away in 2020.
