Howdy, all I¹ve examined this event and I don¹t agree that this feature is a debris cloud. It is visible in radar imagery about 15 minutes prior to the eyewitness accounts of sonic booms. It is also missing some of the diagnostic features of a meteorite fall, namely internal turbulence

Eucritic inclusions in Vaca Muerta as well. But there aren't too many meteorites that have different specimens with different petrologic classes, unless it's a clast or xenolith that weathered out of a host specimen. Don't the Franconia irons fall into that latter category? Best regards, MikeG

Hi Eric, I don't think anyone is questioning the integrity of the scientists involved. Rather, there are two obvious problems that are raised by that single image : 1) the presence of what appears to be desert varnish on the stones - a process not seen in meteorites from non-desert locales.
