Description This beautiful and rare enstatite chondrite IMB (EH4) fell in June of 1952, in Alberta, Canada. According to witnesses, a brilliant fireball lit up the sky north of Edmonton for several seconds and was followed by rumbling sounds. One individual who was attending a drive-in movie claimed that the light from the fireball was so bright it obscured the screen. Several days after the fireball event, a farmer discovered an unusual hole in his wheat field. At the bottom of this hole rested a single large meteorite mass with a weight of ~107 kgs! This was the only Abee mass recovered from the fall. This small triangular slice weighs 1.26 grams and comes from The Earth's Memory in France.
