Could this be for real?

It could be, or it could be a Nissan truck commercial. Looks cool though.

I want a meteorITE so bad. I think it would be a cool thing to own. I mean, to hold something in your hand that didn't originate from this planet could lead to a lot of deep thoughts on the hood of your car while staring up at the stars, with, or without drugs.... I'd really like to find a meteorITE instead of buying one. but what are the chances of that....

I saw a guy on some show that makes a living going out in the desert, finding them and selling them. They showed him walking around and picking them up off the ground, doesn't seem like it's too hard if you know what you are doing.

All you have to do is make it down to the south pole and start looking for the black spots in the snow. Pay dirt!!! Well that is if you don't friggen freeze to death or get mauled by some rabid penguin.

Ummm... I'm gonna be a geek now and correct your grammar. You can't own a meteor.

Meteor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

A meteor is the visible path of a meteoroid that enters the Earth's (or another body's) atmosphere, commonly called a shooting star or falling star. The visibility is due to the heat produced by the ram pressure (not friction, as is commonly assumed) of atmospheric entry. A very bright meteor may be called a fireball or bolide. The International Meteor Organisation defines fireballs as being meteors of magnitude -3 or brighter. The meteor section of the British Astronomical Association on the other hand has a much stricter definition, requiring the meteor to be magnitude -5 or brighter.

If a meteoroid survives its transit of the atmosphere to come to rest on the surface, the resulting object is called a meteorite. A meteor striking the Earth or other object may produce an impact crater.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams

The best place to look is in places where people have seen them land. They break up into fragments and sometimes a good impact field will yield good ones for many years. If you saw that vid of the one that came down is Australia last week you can bet the professionals and amateurs (yes, some people make a good living doing this) are converging on that area.

Here's a primer on how to find them . . .

They didn't need to. It comes crashing down in a ball of flames behind the truck. Funny commercial!

Meteorites do make excellent gifts. Rocks can be like bouquets for some people.
