Bruderheim, a detonating bolide, fell at 1:06 a.m., MST, on March 4, 1960. The fireball traveled on an azimuth of N 100°, at a slope of 40°, with an initial atmospheric velocity of 8 to 10 miles per second. More than 300 kilograms have been recovered from the fall area, a well‐defined ellipse centered about latitude 53°54′N, longitude 112°53′W. This ellipse is 312 miles long and 214 miles wide (5.6 by 3.6 km), with its long axis N80W and the larger individuals located near its southeast apex.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
