AMMAN: Residents of a Jordanian village attending a funeral got an unwelcome
surprise when a fiery meteorite crashed down in their midst, one of them
said on Monday.
"More than 100 of us were gathered on Wednesday at sundown to bury a village
resident when we saw a strange object that looked like a ball of fire," said
Mohammed Nawaf Mikdadi, mayor of Beit Eidess, some 85 km north of Amman.
