A Western professor has new leads in regards to a meteorite suspected of falling north of St. Thomas.
The space rock hasn't been found, but they could be getting closer.
Staff at Western have been contacted 50 or 60 times with people wondering if they had found part of the meteorite.
So far, nothing has panned out.
But professors have narrowed the search area to someplace around Highbury Road, between St. Thomas and Highway 401.
Recently fallen meteorites will have a millimetre-thick black coating on them, but will look stone-like on the inside.
"If you have a camera with you, take a picture of it even before you pick it up or disturb it. It's helpful to see what condition it was found, that kind of thing is useful," says Western professor Phil McCausland.
They could also be magnetic.
Two more ground searches are being organized at this point.
