7 c5 ?3 [" O. k, L A University of Calgary student got the thrill of a lifetime when she found bits of meteorite from a fireball that lit up the sky over Alberta and Saskatchewan last week.

"It's incredibly exciting," said Milley, who found the meteorite fragment around 3:45 p.m. in a picturesque valley known as Buzzard Coulee.

"It's a very unique opportunity, because not many meteorites are found in Canada."

The property, about two kilometres from the Battle River valley, belongs to rancher Ian Mitchell. He didn't see the fireball in the sky on Nov. 20, but planned to go hunting for space rocks after news came down that the meteor may have exploded into thousands of pieces in the region.
