In the fall of 1998 and spring of 1999 a team of researchers conducted systematic ground searches of predicted meteorite fall sites across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. The locations of the fall sites were determined from analysis of fireball events recorded by the Meteorite Observation and Recovery Project, which operated across central Canada from 1971 to 1985. The best 10 of the approximately 79 sites where meteorites are strongly suspected to have fallen were searched by ground-based teams. The two best sites were revisited in the spring of 1999. The search teams walked approximately 800 linear kilometres in total and searched nearly 4,000,000 square metres. Approximately 60 samples, which may be meteoritic, were recovered during these campaigns. Examinations of these samples suggest that they are probably not meteorites, but more detailed analysis of two candidates is ongoing.
