Mwamwayi, Willie sanavulazidwe ndi mphamvu ya meteorite. Nthawi yomweyo adayitana abambo ake kuti awone zomwe zidachitika ndipo a McKinnon atafika pamalopo, adadzidzimuka atapeza kuti meteor inali pafupifupi yozungulira ngati mwala; ndipo malo otentha adagoledwa mozama ndi zomwe zimafanana ndi zolemba zachilendo zachilendo.
Nkhani yodabwitsayi inasindikizidwa ngati nkhani ya patsamba loyamba la nyuzipepala ya Sept. 5, 1908, yamutu wakuti, "Uthenga Wochokera ku Mars".
Chiyambireni chochitika chodabwitsachi, Bambo McKinnon adakhala nthawi yayitali ya moyo wawo akuyesera kumasulira zilembo zachilendo pamwala wodabwitsawo. Komabe, mwala wodabwitsa wa mlengalenga wakunja ukuwoneka kuti sunawunikidwepo m'njira yoyenera, chifukwa chilichonse mwazolemba zake zofufuzira sichinapezekebe.
Masiku ano, malo ake enieni sakudziwika, ndipo 'mwala wozizwitsa wa Cowichan' udakali chinsinsi chosadziwika chomwe sichinafotokozedwe mpaka lero.
