Where do you need a meteorite's come from?

You want the short answer, do you want the long answer?

Give me the short answer, and then maybe I'll want the long answer too.

I'm going to give you the long answer first because it's

Atlas Obscura a celebration of the world's strange, incredible, and wondrous places.

Today, we're powering up our metal detectors and keeping a close eye on the surface of the Earth. As we set out on the hunt for meteorites

with meteorite hunter, Steve Arnold has been out there hunting for meteorites,

these extraordinary, incredible space rocks that have been

traveling for millions or billions of years. In fact, hunting for meteorites is his full-time job and for three seasons he documented

these adventures on a show called meteorite men alongside his co-host and

science writer Jeff Notkin.

Our first episode, technically our second episode of season one,

was the Ash Creek episode.

And at the very end of the episode,

they sat my co-host Jeff Notkin and I down on these beer coolers and we would sit there and they would lock down the cameras and they would ask us questions and

Bob our producer at Steve where do meteorites come from and so I'm supposed to answer with the question built into the answer right

that was very enlightening and I'm sure the guys back in post really appreciate

that education but let me tell you something we will never use
