Dear List, Amgala was the provisional working name for Oum Dreyga. The meteorite fell between Amgala and Oum Dreyga in the country of Western Sahara. It was determined later on to have fallen closer to Oum Dreyga than Amgala thus the new name. The coordinates were provided by us from the beginning and do plot closer to Oum Dreyga. If you dig through the archives you will see we even provided a map. NAU was working on this material from the beginning and would have also called it Oum Dreyga. It doesn't matter either way because it is now formerly classified.
