Planetary field found its first Meteorite in Lake Michigan on Thursday (18/01/2018).

Still remember the meteors that exploded in the sky of America a few days ago? This time, scientists found three suspected meteorite blocks from the meteor.

planetary field found its first meteorite in Lake Michigan on Thursday (18/01/2018).

"Two days ago, this (meteorite) was hundreds of thousands of miles through the moon, and now I stand here holding it in my hand.This day is very fun," said Ward quoted from Newsweek, Friday (19/01/2018).

To find the three meteorites, Ward and his team used scientific data.

"We really have good data on this," he said.

"Seismic data is lined up with Doppler data and witness data - everything comes together in this meteorite," he added.

The American Meteor Society (AMS) has received over 355 reports from witnesses who witnessed events from across from Michigan to Illinois and Ohio. Nasa Meteor Watch uses these reports to map out these meteor lines.

The meteor is thought to explode and disintegrate into many small pieces known as meteorites as it flies across the American sky.

To find it anyway, Ward had to comb the snowy ground. After 15 minutes of searching, he found his first meteorite.

"I only see small black titl, but you know, I'm very lucky to find the invention but no doubt there are other (meteorites) out there," Ward said.

Ward itself is a very active meteorite hunter. He was even arrested for being a spy in the Middle East.

"I was arrested and tried for spying in the Middle East and almost kidnapped, FARC (cocaine guerrilla) in Colombia," he recalled.

Ward is still planning to find another meteorite until next week.
