Reports from the National Museum detail two meteorite falls with trustworthy witnesses. The Colby Wisconsin event on July 4, 1917, yielded a 23 pound fragment buried five feet in clay, while a larger fragment split into over twenty pieces. A smaller piece landed in a field, buried two feet, and was described as cold with frost on exposure. A Mississippi fall on February 2, 1922 weighed under a pound and was noticed when a man heard a humming sound, saw nothing, then a hot stone nearly too warm to handle was dug up, giving off brimstone-like odor. Laboratory analysis shows the Colby stone is iron poor, rich in silica and magnesium, with aluminum, nickel, calcium, sodium, potassium, sulfur, chromium, phosphorus, and manganese.
