The footage of the meteorite that crashed into the earth somewhere between Alberta and Saskatchewan has been viewed around the world.

And now, the meteorite hunters are out there -- searching for
Rockstock. CBC News has a story about the meteor hunt in its story Meteorite hunters head to Alberta-Sask. border for 'Rockstock'.

Tourism to this part of Canada should pick up between now and the end of the year. Especially with the offer of a big bounty.One serious space hunter is offering $10,000 for the first 1 kg. chunk of the meteor.
