STARMAN: Arizona Man Hunts Down Piece Of The Cosmos

Since the dawn of human history, we've looked at the stars and wondered what was up there. As we've progressed, we've gotten closer and closer to touching the stars, from moon landings to satellite probes.

Sometimes, however, the stars come to us, and one Arizona man is determined to find them.

The Sky is Falling!

On June 26th 2025, the Georgia sky was lit up. Captured on dashcams, phone videos, and Ring Cameras, folks had no idea what they were seeing. Eventually, NASA confirmed that a meteor entered the atmosphere above the state, causing the aerial phenomenon that sent waves through national media.

The meteor was captured entering the atmosphere at around 30,000 miles per hour, and, upon impact, unleashed the force of around 20 tons of TNT. This is around 1,000 times less powerful than the Atomic Bombs used in World War II, but still significant enough to make an impact.

Meteor Hunter

One man heard of this impact, and immediately went to work. Robert Ward of Prescott, AZ is a "Meteor Hunter" as some would call him. He travels around the country collecting meteors and meteorites, and has turned his home into a sort of museum for these space rocks.

Ward made his way to Georgia, and by using advanced technology, was able to find approximately where the Meteor fragments would have landed. All in all, 10 meteorites were recovered by Ward and co., with the largest weighing a whopping 73.2 grams, which is now on display in his home. Ward's journey doesn't end here, as he's now on the lookout for a reported starfall within his home of Arizona.
