Meteorite Men Season 1

While Steve investigates an office-smashing meteorite in Virginia, Geoff and his Aerolite team track an elusive fireball in heat-ravaged Arizona. Later, the Meteorite Men rendezvous in central Texas at the fall site of the daytime Ash Creek fireball, with fellow hunter Ruben Garcia and Hopper the Meteorite Dog. This action-packed episode ends with a trip to the world famous Tucson gem and mineral show, where the guys offer up some of their finds to help fund future expeditions.

Steve and Geoff team up with maverick meteorite hunter Sonny Clary for an unforgettable adventure in the Great Basin. Sonny and his dog Brix lead them to the site of a puzzling discovery, and the Meteorite Men come home with more than they bargained for. Also: a visit the Alamo Breccia where, 370 million years ago, a gigantic meteorite devastated what is now central Nevada. A close call with Area 51 and an enlightening lab visit with Dr. Garvie round out this fan-favorite episode.

Gold Basin, Arizona is one of the world's most famous meteorite strewnfields. For a decade Geoff and Steve have dreamed of exploring the nearly inaccessible northern end of the zone. To reach it, the Meteorite Men must take to the water and follow a secret treasure map bequeathed to them by their late friend and mentor, Professor Jim Kriegh, discoverer of the Gold Basin meteorite. The National Park Service pitch in and grant a special permit to hunt in a dangerous Federal preserve that is off-limits to the public.

The Meteorite Men head south to Geoff's home state of Arizona and dig into the legend of the mysterious Tucson Ring — a giant iron meteorite found in the 1800s. Local lore insists that the Ring was only one of many meteorites hidden in the remote and dangerous Santa Rita Mountains. After encounters with scorpions, unexploded ammunition and blistering heat, the guys visit Dr. Laurence Garvie at the Center For Meteorite Studies at ASU to try and solve the enduring mystery.

Geoff and Steve arrive at the famous 63,000 year-old meteorite crater near Odessa, Texas with a dazzling array of the very latest hunting equipment: ground penetrating radar, a military bomb detector, and the mighty Rockhound — a go-anywhere amphibious tracked ride that gives new meaning to the phrase "all terrain vehicle." Braving temperatures in excess of 105 degrees, the guys use every trick and tactic in their search for space rocks, and stumble upon a most surprising discovery.

In the first episode of Season One, Steve and Geoff head to the Great White North and investigate the Buzzard Coulee fireball which dropped hundreds of stone meteorites across Saskatchewan, Canada. As winter approaches an unexpected snowstorm forces a sudden change in plan. They move on to northern Alberta and receive a VIP invitation to explore the newly-discovered Whitecourt iron meteorite crater. Later, a visit with Dr. Chris Herd at the University of Alberta in Edmonton confirms the significance of their cold-weather finds.
