(meteorobs) Possible meteorite fall in Jordan
Greetings,
Well, I've been there just 6 hours ago! I did take several pictures,
and made an interview with an eyewitness! I've written a report in
Arabic, since I was asked to do so by the Associated Press. I hope I'll
be able to translate it into English and post the pictures soon. But in
a very short, JAS didn't find any meteorite at that place. Anyway, more
later.
Best Wishes
Moh'd
