FW: [meteorite-list] New fall in Spain

[Jose Campos]

Hi Mark Ford,   It seems that the spanish authorities sent in some members of its Army and a few helicopters scouting the possible area of fall because, according to the spanish news media, quite a number of phone calls made by members of the public who saw it, mentioned a "possible burning AIRCRAFT". In fact, a few callers from Vila Real, Portugal, also thought that they had seen the same and therefore, some portuguese policemen and firemen did some search as well, for a few hours - not "all day and night" as you wrote. Having THAT possibility in mind, I am sure that ALL countries would bother!
