Re: (meteorobs) Possible meteorite fall in Jordan



Dear Mohammad Odeh and All!

It seems that my idea that it was a geophysical event is confirmed. It
would be interesting to look at some background geophysical data. Also I
propose to make further contacts outside METEOROBS mailing list, as the
item is of another nature.

Sincerely,
