A park in the quiet Medina County community of Sharon Center is considered prime hunting ground in the search for fragments of the meteor that blazed across the sky on St. Patrick’s Day.

Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of this event exactly," Steven Sladek said of the meteorite that shook Northeast Ohio on Tuesday.

WADSWORTH, Ohio — A 45,000 mph meteor for the ages made a captivating *boom* in Medina County and way beyond Tuesday afternoon. The streak of light and the sound of the meteor startled many people, including Keone Knapp in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. Knapp said his whole house shook.

A streaking fireball lit the starkly cold Tuesday morning sky and detonated with the force of 250 tons of TNT, rattling windows and alarming Northeast Ohioans.

An expert says that the price per gram of a celestial object can range to several thousands, depending on its composition, condition, and date of discovery.

The National Weather Service and scientists say there were signs of a meteorite landing near Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday (March 17).
