{"title":"OBSERVED FALLS","description":"A \"witnessed fall\" is a rare event. 99.9% of meteorites we have in museums and collections today are what are known as \"finds\". The rare times when we do see a meteorite fall from the sky and ultimately recover it, it adds significantly to its overall scientific value.

Chennaoui Aoudjehane \u003cem\u003eFSAC\u003c\/em\u003e, M. Aoudjehane): On October 28th, 2018 around 22:30 (GMT+1) a fireball was spotted by many people from the southeastern and eastern parts of Morocco. The sighting was reported to H. Chennaoui the following day by Y. Oulmaleh who went to the fall site, then by A. Bouferra. A field mission was organized by H. Chennaoui and M. Aoudjehane on November 11, 2018. to the fall area to record the coordinates of recovered pieces and the testimonies of local inhabitants. M. Touhami El Hafidi from Errachidia helped with the field work. Hammou Oubalaid, a shepherd who was out of his tent, described a very shiny light first, yellow then red, relatively low in the sky. It was coming from the east and headed west in the direction of Kaddoussa barrage. It was followed by 5 sonic booms, then a whistling sound that lasted 1 second, followed by a noise comparable to the unloading of a truck of rocks for about 5 s. The sound had awakened his sheep. Mohamed Oubalaid was inside his tent with his wife and his children when they saw a very bright illumination similar to daytime entering the tent. Then they heard 5 sonic booms. Then they heard many muffled sounds like rocks collapse. Many people from the village Ksar El Goraane and the area of the fall reported the same details on the fireball sighting: shiny like the sun, a yellow color, followed by red, between 4 and 5 sonic booms, and the whistling and noises that followed. Zaid Bouidergi, a meteorite hunter, was in Errachidia for the annual  exhibition. He was outside and saw on October 28 around 22:30 a brilliant fireball on the North East of Errachidia that went out after a few seconds. A day after, October 29, in the morning, the first piece, weighting at 185 g, was recovered by Lahcen Oubalaid very close to his tent and around 5 km east of Ksar El Goraane village (N32°11’13.2’’; W003°42’04.6’’ Alt 1169 m). On the same day, other pieces were collected. Many Moroccan hunters went there to search for more. 5 g were found by Lahcen Oubalaid and 32 g were found by Addi Oulgaddou from Boudnib. Many small pieces were found in the Essnam plateau. A few days later, a 350 g piece was found SE of Ksar El Goraane village by Abderrahim Rahoui.  The plateau where most pieces were found is called Izanarzen plateau, E of Ksar El Goraane village, S of Jebel Tabouaroust lakbir and close to Jebel Tabouaroust Essghir.

Aoudjehane): On October 28th, 2018 around 22:30 (GMT+1) a fireball was spotted by many people from the southeastern and eastern parts of Morocco. The sighting was reported to H. Chennaoui the following day by Y. Oulmaleh who went to the fall site, then by A. Bouferra\u003c\/span\u003e. A field mission was organized by H. Chennaoui and M. Aoudjehane on November 11, 2018. to the fall area to record the coordinates of recovered pieces and the testimonies of local inhabitants. M. Touhami El Hafidi from Errachidia helped with the field work. Hammou Oubalaid, a shepherd who was out of his tent, described a very shiny light first, yellow then red, relatively low in the sky. It was coming from the east and headed west in the direction of Kaddoussa barrage. It was followed by 5 sonic booms, then a whistling sound that lasted 1 second, followed by a noise comparable to the unloading of a truck of rocks for about 5 s. The sound had awakened his sheep. Mohamed Oubalaid was inside his tent with his wife and his children when they saw a very bright illumination similar to daytime entering the tent. Then they heard 5 sonic booms. Then they heard many muffled sounds like rocks collapse. Many people from the village Ksar El Goraane and the area of the fall reported the same details on the fireball sighting: shiny like the sun, a yellow color, followed by red, between 4 and 5 sonic booms, and the whistling and noises that followed. Zaid Bouidergi, a meteorite hunter, was in Errachidia for the annual  exhibition. He was outside and saw on October 28 around 22:30 a brilliant fireball on the North East of Errachidia that went out after a few seconds. A day after, October 29, in the morning, the first piece, weighting at 185 g, was recovered by Lahcen Oubalaid very close to his tent and around 5 km east of Ksar El Goraane village (N32°11’13.2’’; W003°42’04.6’’ Alt 1169 m). On the same day, other pieces were collected. Many Moroccan hunters went there to search for more. 5 g were found by Lahcen Oubalaid and 32 g were found by Addi Oulgaddou from Boudnib. Many small pieces were found in the Essnam plateau. A few days later, a 350 g piece was found SE of Ksar El Goraane village by Abderrahim Rahoui.  The plateau where most pieces were found is called Izanarzen plateau, E of Ksar El Goraane village, S of Jebel Tabouaroust lakbir and close to Jebel Tabouaroust Essghir.

Several eyewitnesses were interviewed. Among eyewitnesses was Mr. Ali Boutmoula, a nomad living in a tent exactly in the center of the fall area. At the time of fall he was outside his tent by the river, while his uncle was inside the tent. He saw a greenish light moving from northwest toward southeast (coming from Ouinet Ait Oussa located northwest from his position). He walked for a few \" then he heard a large explosion over his head in the valley and the mountains, followed by two or three more explosions after the first one. The last explosion was a high-pitched sound like a bang in a tin bucket. He thought it was thunder. Stones were recovered all around his tent. A second eyewitness Mr. Hmadi Elkebchi was sitting with his family in Oum Laouitgat village. He heard Loud explosion coming from the west followed by three sonic booms, the last one was high pitched like hitting a metal object. He thought it was an earthquake. Mr. Lbaz Brahim is a third eyewitness living in Oum Laouitgat village. While leaving a mosque, he saw a blue colored fireball followed by a green light. He heard a large explosion, then a second and a third one, he reported a metallic sound like hitting tin can. The trajectory he reported was coming from Aouinat Ait Oussa in the northeast heading southwest toward Tiglit. The next day, he went searching for pieces of the meteorite, and all the valley smelled of sulfur. He found one of the largest stones. Mr. Mouloud Rkhaoui and Mr. Mohamed Dghaich, nomad shepherds who were camping about ten km east of Tiglit, heard three sonic booms followed by a whistling. In the morning, they went to the supposed fall area and found some pieces. The day after the fireball report, hundreds of hunters and people from the area went searching for the fall. All hunters reported a strong odor of sulfur in the entire valley. The first pieces were found in the same day near the junction of Oued Tiglit and Guelta Moukiyoud which flow towards Oued Draa. The region is steep with significant relief. Some pieces were found on a small relief called Assafaou which is part of the starting point of Jbel Bani the most important mountain of the Moroccan Anti-Atlas chain. The main mass was found at at 28.404°N, 10.373°W, and the strewn field extends to about 30 km towards the WNW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e: Six large pieces and many small fragments were recovered.

Exterior is covered with multi-colored (green-orange-brown) fusion crust. Broken surfaces reveal a mild breccia of mm- to cm-sized fractured bright white pyroxene grains, elongate to stubby, permeated and bounded by shock-darken domains.

Ubiquitous shock melt pockets and veinlets are present throughout, most of which are silica-rich or albitic, although some are diopsidic in composition, and some have minor amounts of sulfur. Detected sulfides include: troilite, Ti-troilite, Cr-troilite, Mn-troilite, ferroan alabandite, ferromagnesian alabandite, daubreelite, and oldhamite. Metals include kamacite and taenite; Si was below detection limits in both metals. Rare schreibersite was observed.

Spectrographic and microchemical analyses showed iron with 7 to 10 per cent nickle content and approximately 0.7 per cent cobalt. The composition and presence of some dust particles clearly shaped as little columns prompt the suppostition that the Tunguska meteorite is of the iron, oetahedrite class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe particles of dust are regular black globules (probably magnetite) 0.03 to 0.06 mm in diameter. So far only nine globeles have been discovered and since there are very few of them, analyses have not been made. The globules are the result of melting of meteoritic matter during passage through the earth's atmosphere, and were part of the smoke-train of fire-ball that settled on the earth's surface and became mixed with the soil. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get: \u003c\/strong\u003eTunguska witnessed fall commemorative coin as shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSEE OFFICIAL METEORITICAL SOCIETY ENTRY BELOW\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" id=\"maintable\" cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tablefat\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"insidehead\" colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eTunguska\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"inside\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003eBasic information\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"inside\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eName:\u003c\/b\u003e Tunguska\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e     This is NOT an official name: Doubtful meteorite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbbreviation:\u003c\/b\u003e There is no official abbreviation for this meteorite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eObserved fall:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eYes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYear fell:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e1908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eRussia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMass:\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lpi.usra.edu\/meteor\/notes.php?note=16\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.lpi.usra.edu\/meteor\/qmark.gif\" alt=\"help\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e13.4 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"inside\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003eClassification\u003cbr\u003e  history:\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"inside\"\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" summary=\"used for layout\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMeteoritical Bulletin:  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lpi.usra.edu\/meteor\/docs\/mb05.pdf\" title=\"Meteoritical Bulletin, no. 5, Moscow (1957)\"\u003eMB 5\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca\u003e  \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e(1957)  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnknown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNHM Catalogue:  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/us\/catalogue\/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521663032\" title=\"Grady, M.

Kulik's expeditions in the years 1929-1930 from the place of the Tunguska Meteorite (U.S.S.R.) fall, A. A. Yavnel', of the Committee on Meteorites, U.S.S.R.. Academy of Sciences, discovered particles of meteoritic and meteoric dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe particles of the meteoritic dust are small laminae with sharp corners, chips or pieces measuring a fraction of a millimeter or more, and are the result of the crushing of the meteorite during its fall (explosion). Spectrographic and microchemical analyses showed iron with 7 to 10 per cent nickle content and approximately 0.7 per cent cobalt. The composition and presence of some dust particles clearly shaped as little columns prompt the suppostition that the Tunguska meteorite is of the iron, oetahedrite class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe particles of dust are regular black globules (probably magnetite) 0.03 to 0.06 mm in diameter. So far only nine globeles have been discovered and since there are very few of them, analyses have not been made. The globules are the result of melting of meteoritic matter during passage through the earth's atmosphere, and were part of the smoke-train of fire-ball that settled on the earth's surface and became mixed with the soil. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get: \u003c\/strong\u003eTunguska witnessed fall commemorative coin as shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSEE OFFICIAL METEORITICAL SOCIETY ENTRY BELOW\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tablefat\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" id=\"maintable\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cth colspan=\"2\" class=\"insidehead\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eTunguska\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"inside\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003eBasic information\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"inside\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eName:\u003c\/b\u003e Tunguska\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e     This is NOT an official name: Doubtful meteorite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbbreviation:\u003c\/b\u003e There is no official abbreviation for this meteorite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eObserved fall:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eYes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYear fell:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e1908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eRussia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMass:\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lpi.usra.edu\/meteor\/notes.php?note=16\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"help\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lpi.usra.edu\/meteor\/qmark.gif\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e13.4 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"inside\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003eClassification\u003cbr\u003e  history:\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"inside\"\u003e\n\u003ctable summary=\"used for layout\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMeteoritical Bulletin:  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca title=\"Meteoritical Bulletin, no. 5, Moscow (1957)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lpi.usra.edu\/meteor\/docs\/mb05.pdf\"\u003eMB 5\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca\u003e  \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e(1957)  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnknown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNHM Catalogue:  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca title=\"Grady, M.

On April 30, 202,2 Linda Welzenbach Fries and Marc Fries recovered the first two meteorites N1 (41.31 g) and N2 (37.65 g), within the center of the calculated strewn field, 16.9 km east of Natchez, on the shoulder (31°33’06.1\"N 91°11’36.6\"W) and median (31°33’08.9\"N 91°11’25.9\"W) of U.S. Hwy 84E. The first stone (N1) remains with the finders. The second stone (N2) is subdivided to provide the required deposit material. Both stones were collected cleanly and prior to rain. On May 1st at around 9:07 a.m. Matthew Stream and Roberto Vargas discovered a meteorite that had hit U.S. Hwy 98\/84E (31.550129° -91.206338°, WGS84).

A small area of broken crust (where it was sitting on the ground) shows a mottled dark-gray matrix with irregular, millimeter-sized lighter grains, clasts and few chondrule fragments with bright, unoxidized finely disseminated metal. Fusion crust is matte black with some chondrule outlines. N2 is a 37.64 g fragment, roughly rectangular in shape and only 50% fusion crust. The exposed interior sheds particles easily, is finely fractured and reveals a dark gray matrix with breccia clasts ranging from millimeters to centimeters in size. Clasts are light gray, irregularly shaped with poorly defined margins.

Total mass of recovered samples is at least 596.83 g (see Samples), but another 500+ grams has been reported through social media but with actual masses and locations unsubstantiated. Regarding the main mass: 122 g fragment is the largest confirmed mass found to date. It is held by Roberto Vargas and Matthew Stream. A notable distinction in color between two lithologies (lighter and darker in color) is observed in thin section in transmitted light. The light lithology displays a chondritic texture with uneven chondrule-matrix integration. Many chondrules can be discerned, with a few having relatively sharp edges. Abundant large (\u0026lt;= 600 μm) metal (with scalloped edges) and sulfide grains are visible; both contain silicate inclusions. Abundant feldspathic-chromite assemblages are also observed. Secondary sodic feldspar (Av. ~20 μm across), chlorapatite, and merrillite are present. The dark lithology displays a brecciated texture composed largely of a texturally and compositionally heterogeneous assemblage of well-defined chondrules (Av. diameter 444±177 μm, n=26) and sub-rounded to angular isolated mineral grains and lithic fragments (both zoned and unzoned) within a fine-grained matrix containing silicates, Fe-Ni metal, troilite, and merrillite. Most chondrules contain a turbid, devitrified mesostasis, although a few chondrules preserve a primary glassy mesostasis. Red-brown spinel grains are present in two chondrules. In BSE imaging, abundant zoned olivine grains are present, along with Mg-rich olivine and pyroxene, and numerous micro-faults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeochemistry\u003c\/strong\u003e: (M.

The finder of the first meteorites was Mr Ouled Bleila, who died in a car accident on his way back from the trip to the Chergach strewn field in October 2007.

Nomads reported the stones fell after a smoke cloud was seen and several detonations were heard over a wide area during daytime in July 2007. The finder of the first meteorites was Mr Ouled Bleila, who died in a car accident on his way back from the trip to the Chergach strewn field in October 2007. According to the Tuareg people from Algeria who visited the fall site in September 2007, the elliptical strewn field stretches for more than 20 km in a northeasterly direction.

This fireball was recorded by NASAs Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) as event 2018-04-19 14:02:27. The meteoroid entered at 20.9 km\/s and detonated at an altitude of 30 km at 7.5’N, 3.6’E releasing a calculated total impact energy of 0.23 kt. Many stones fell between the villages of Ipapo (8°7’50.84\"N, 3°30’34.58\"E) and Tede to the north (8°33’21.49\"N, 3°26’46.31\"E). Stone were collected at multiple locations.

Fusion crust is occasionally preserved within the shallow regmaglypts. Most stones are greyish green and show areas of rounded to angular light-colored clasts. Largest clast (5 × 2 cm) is angular, fine-grained, and achondritic. Observations from multiple slices show that clasts constitute roughly \u0026lt;10 areal%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePetrography\u003c\/strong\u003e: Visually the cut surfaces are dominated by a gray matrix, studded with well-developed chondrules and chondrule fragments. Some chondrules to 4 mm but the majority are 0.1 to 1 mm across. Observations on an 8 × 7 cm slab shows the following clasts: L6 (3 × 1 cm); L5 (1.5 × 1 cm); and sub-rounded 1-cm dark clast with sparse 200 micron chondrules. Shock veins are rare. Metal and sulfide occurs as: fined grained spheres in the matrix; armoring chondrules; and, occasional lumps to 5 mm. Petrographic observations show a range of chondrule types dominated by PO, POP, RP, PP, and BO. Particularly evident in thin section are BO and PO chondrules with reddish purple (in plain polarized light) glass that is isotropic under crossed polars. The silicates are extensively shocked with olivine showing mosaicism and PDFs. SEM observations show that much of the metal\/sulfide in the matrix occurs as fine-droplets, veins, and melt pods. Large Fe-Ni grains are polycrystalline with each crystal showing a kamacite core, dark-etched martensitic inner rim, and outer Ni-rich rim. Troilite is dominantly single crystal, and occasionally polycrystalline.

Several eyewitnesses were interviewed. Among eyewitnesses was Mr. Ali Boutmoula, a nomad living in a tent exactly in the center of the fall area. At the time of fall he was outside his tent by the river, while his uncle was inside the tent. He saw a greenish light moving from northwest toward southeast (coming from Ouinet Ait Oussa located northwest from his position). He walked for a few \" then he heard a large explosion over his head in the valley and the mountains, followed by two or three more explosions after the first one. The last explosion was a high-pitched sound like a bang in a tin bucket. He thought it was thunder. Stones were recovered all around his tent. A second eyewitness Mr. Hmadi Elkebchi was sitting with his family in Oum Laouitgat village. He heard Loud explosion coming from the west followed by three sonic booms, the last one was high pitched like hitting a metal object. He thought it was an earthquake. Mr. Lbaz Brahim is a third eyewitness living in Oum Laouitgat village. While leaving a mosque, he saw a blue colored fireball followed by a green light. He heard a large explosion, then a second and a third one, he reported a metallic sound like hitting tin can. The trajectory he reported was coming from Aouinat Ait Oussa in the northeast heading southwest toward Tiglit. The next day, he went searching for pieces of the meteorite, and all the valley smelled of sulfur. He found one of the largest stones. Mr. Mouloud Rkhaoui and Mr. Mohamed Dghaich, nomad shepherds who were camping about ten km east of Tiglit, heard three sonic booms followed by a whistling. In the morning, they went to the supposed fall area and found some pieces. The day after the fireball report, hundreds of hunters and people from the area went searching for the fall. All hunters reported a strong odor of sulfur in the entire valley. The first pieces were found in the same day near the junction of Oued Tiglit and Guelta Moukiyoud which flow towards Oued Draa. The region is steep with significant relief. Some pieces were found on a small relief called Assafaou which is part of the starting point of Jbel Bani the most important mountain of the Moroccan Anti-Atlas chain. The main mass was found at at 28.404°N, 10.373°W, and the strewn field extends to about 30 km towards the WNW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e: Six large pieces and many small fragments were recovered.

Scattered diopside and olivine grains were observed, and only a single albite grain was detected in the microprobe mount. A few aluminous silica polymorph grains were also found. Ubiquitous shock melt pockets and veinlets are present throughout, most of which are silica-rich or albitic, although some are diopsidic in composition, and some have minor amounts of sulfur. Detected sulfides include: troilite, Ti-troilite, Cr-troilite, Mn-troilite, ferroan alabandite, ferromagnesian alabandite, daubreelite, and oldhamite. Metals include kamacite and taenite; Si was below detection limits in both metals. Rare schreibersite was observed.

Several eyewitnesses were interviewed. Among eyewitnesses was Mr. Ali Boutmoula, a nomad living in a tent exactly in the center of the fall area. At the time of fall he was outside his tent by the river, while his uncle was inside the tent. He saw a greenish light moving from northwest toward southeast (coming from Ouinet Ait Oussa located northwest from his position). He walked for a few \" then he heard a large explosion over his head in the valley and the mountains, followed by two or three more explosions after the first one. The last explosion was a high-pitched sound like a bang in a tin bucket. He thought it was thunder. Stones were recovered all around his tent. A second eyewitness Mr. Hmadi Elkebchi was sitting with his family in Oum Laouitgat village. He heard Loud explosion coming from the west followed by three sonic booms, the last one was high pitched like hitting a metal object. He thought it was an earthquake. Mr. Lbaz Brahim is a third eyewitness living in Oum Laouitgat village. While leaving a mosque, he saw a blue colored fireball followed by a green light. He heard a large explosion, then a second and a third one, he reported a metallic sound like hitting tin can. The trajectory he reported was coming from Aouinat Ait Oussa in the northeast heading southwest toward Tiglit. The next day, he went searching for pieces of the meteorite, and all the valley smelled of sulfur. He found one of the largest stones. Mr. Mouloud Rkhaoui and Mr. Mohamed Dghaich, nomad shepherds who were camping about ten km east of Tiglit, heard three sonic booms followed by a whistling. In the morning, they went to the supposed fall area and found some pieces. The day after the fireball report, hundreds of hunters and people from the area went searching for the fall. All hunters reported a strong odor of sulfur in the entire valley. The first pieces were found in the same day near the junction of Oued Tiglit and Guelta Moukiyoud which flow towards Oued Draa. The region is steep with significant relief. Some pieces were found on a small relief called Assafaou which is part of the starting point of Jbel Bani the most important mountain of the Moroccan Anti-Atlas chain. The main mass was found at at 28.404°N, 10.373°W, and the strewn field extends to about 30 km towards the WNW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e: Six large pieces and many small fragments were recovered.

Exterior is covered with multi-colored (green-orange-brown) fusion crust. Broken surfaces reveal a mild breccia of mm- to cm-sized fractured bright white pyroxene grains, elongate to stubby, permeated and bounded by shock-darken domains.

Scattered diopside and olivine grains were observed, and only a single albite grain was detected in the microprobe mount. A few aluminous silica polymorph grains were also found. Ubiquitous shock melt pockets and veinlets are present throughout, most of which are silica-rich or albitic, although some are diopsidic in composition, and some have minor amounts of sulfur. Detected sulfides include: troilite, Ti-troilite, Cr-troilite, Mn-troilite, ferroan alabandite, ferromagnesian alabandite, daubreelite, and oldhamite. Metals include kamacite and taenite; Si was below detection limits in both metals. Rare schreibersite was observed.

Several eyewitnesses were interviewed. Among eyewitnesses was Mr. Ali Boutmoula, a nomad living in a tent exactly in the center of the fall area. At the time of fall he was outside his tent by the river, while his uncle was inside the tent. He saw a greenish light moving from northwest toward southeast (coming from Ouinet Ait Oussa located northwest from his position). He walked for a few \" then he heard a large explosion over his head in the valley and the mountains, followed by two or three more explosions after the first one. The last explosion was a high-pitched sound like a bang in a tin bucket. He thought it was thunder. Stones were recovered all around his tent. A second eyewitness Mr. Hmadi Elkebchi was sitting with his family in Oum Laouitgat village. He heard Loud explosion coming from the west followed by three sonic booms, the last one was high pitched like hitting a metal object. He thought it was an earthquake. Mr. Lbaz Brahim is a third eyewitness living in Oum Laouitgat village. While leaving a mosque, he saw a blue colored fireball followed by a green light. He heard a large explosion, then a second and a third one, he reported a metallic sound like hitting tin can. The trajectory he reported was coming from Aouinat Ait Oussa in the northeast heading southwest toward Tiglit. The next day, he went searching for pieces of the meteorite, and all the valley smelled of sulfur. He found one of the largest stones. Mr. Mouloud Rkhaoui and Mr. Mohamed Dghaich, nomad shepherds who were camping about ten km east of Tiglit, heard three sonic booms followed by a whistling. In the morning, they went to the supposed fall area and found some pieces. The day after the fireball report, hundreds of hunters and people from the area went searching for the fall. All hunters reported a strong odor of sulfur in the entire valley. The first pieces were found in the same day near the junction of Oued Tiglit and Guelta Moukiyoud which flow towards Oued Draa. The region is steep with significant relief. Some pieces were found on a small relief called Assafaou which is part of the starting point of Jbel Bani the most important mountain of the Moroccan Anti-Atlas chain. The main mass was found at at 28.404°N, 10.373°W, and the strewn field extends to about 30 km towards the WNW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e: Six large pieces and many small fragments were recovered.

Scattered diopside and olivine grains were observed, and only a single albite grain was detected in the microprobe mount. A few aluminous silica polymorph grains were also found. Ubiquitous shock melt pockets and veinlets are present throughout, most of which are silica-rich or albitic, although some are diopsidic in composition, and some have minor amounts of sulfur. Detected sulfides include: troilite, Ti-troilite, Cr-troilite, Mn-troilite, ferroan alabandite, ferromagnesian alabandite, daubreelite, and oldhamite. Metals include kamacite and taenite; Si was below detection limits in both metals. Rare schreibersite was observed.

Several eyewitnesses were interviewed. Among eyewitnesses was Mr. Ali Boutmoula, a nomad living in a tent exactly in the center of the fall area. At the time of fall he was outside his tent by the river, while his uncle was inside the tent. He saw a greenish light moving from northwest toward southeast (coming from Ouinet Ait Oussa located northwest from his position). He walked for a few \" then he heard a large explosion over his head in the valley and the mountains, followed by two or three more explosions after the first one. The last explosion was a high-pitched sound like a bang in a tin bucket. He thought it was thunder. Stones were recovered all around his tent. A second eyewitness Mr. Hmadi Elkebchi was sitting with his family in Oum Laouitgat village. He heard Loud explosion coming from the west followed by three sonic booms, the last one was high pitched like hitting a metal object. He thought it was an earthquake. Mr. Lbaz Brahim is a third eyewitness living in Oum Laouitgat village. While leaving a mosque, he saw a blue colored fireball followed by a green light. He heard a large explosion, then a second and a third one, he reported a metallic sound like hitting tin can. The trajectory he reported was coming from Aouinat Ait Oussa in the northeast heading southwest toward Tiglit. The next day, he went searching for pieces of the meteorite, and all the valley smelled of sulfur. He found one of the largest stones. Mr. Mouloud Rkhaoui and Mr. Mohamed Dghaich, nomad shepherds who were camping about ten km east of Tiglit, heard three sonic booms followed by a whistling. In the morning, they went to the supposed fall area and found some pieces. The day after the fireball report, hundreds of hunters and people from the area went searching for the fall. All hunters reported a strong odor of sulfur in the entire valley. The first pieces were found in the same day near the junction of Oued Tiglit and Guelta Moukiyoud which flow towards Oued Draa. The region is steep with significant relief. Some pieces were found on a small relief called Assafaou which is part of the starting point of Jbel Bani the most important mountain of the Moroccan Anti-Atlas chain. The main mass was found at at 28.404°N, 10.373°W, and the strewn field extends to about 30 km towards the WNW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e: Six large pieces and many small fragments were recovered.

Ubiquitous shock melt pockets and veinlets are present throughout, most of which are silica-rich or albitic, although some are diopsidic in composition, and some have minor amounts of sulfur. Detected sulfides include: troilite, Ti-troilite, Cr-troilite, Mn-troilite, ferroan alabandite, ferromagnesian alabandite, daubreelite, and oldhamite. Metals include kamacite and taenite; Si was below detection limits in both metals. Rare schreibersite was observed.

Several eyewitnesses were interviewed. Among eyewitnesses was Mr. Ali Boutmoula, a nomad living in a tent exactly in the center of the fall area. At the time of fall he was outside his tent by the river, while his uncle was inside the tent. He saw a greenish light moving from northwest toward southeast (coming from Ouinet Ait Oussa located northwest from his position). He walked for a few \" then he heard a large explosion over his head in the valley and the mountains, followed by two or three more explosions after the first one. The last explosion was a high-pitched sound like a bang in a tin bucket. He thought it was thunder. Stones were recovered all around his tent. A second eyewitness Mr. Hmadi Elkebchi was sitting with his family in Oum Laouitgat village. He heard Loud explosion coming from the west followed by three sonic booms, the last one was high pitched like hitting a metal object. He thought it was an earthquake. Mr. Lbaz Brahim is a third eyewitness living in Oum Laouitgat village. While leaving a mosque, he saw a blue colored fireball followed by a green light. He heard a large explosion, then a second and a third one, he reported a metallic sound like hitting tin can. The trajectory he reported was coming from Aouinat Ait Oussa in the northeast heading southwest toward Tiglit. The next day, he went searching for pieces of the meteorite, and all the valley smelled of sulfur. He found one of the largest stones. Mr. Mouloud Rkhaoui and Mr. Mohamed Dghaich, nomad shepherds who were camping about ten km east of Tiglit, heard three sonic booms followed by a whistling. In the morning, they went to the supposed fall area and found some pieces. The day after the fireball report, hundreds of hunters and people from the area went searching for the fall. All hunters reported a strong odor of sulfur in the entire valley. The first pieces were found in the same day near the junction of Oued Tiglit and Guelta Moukiyoud which flow towards Oued Draa. The region is steep with significant relief. Some pieces were found on a small relief called Assafaou which is part of the starting point of Jbel Bani the most important mountain of the Moroccan Anti-Atlas chain. The main mass was found at at 28.404°N, 10.373°W, and the strewn field extends to about 30 km towards the WNW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e: Six large pieces and many small fragments were recovered.

Exterior is covered with multi-colored (green-orange-brown) fusion crust. Broken surfaces reveal a mild breccia of mm- to cm-sized fractured bright white pyroxene grains, elongate to stubby, permeated and bounded by shock-darken domains.

Scattered diopside and olivine grains were observed, and only a single albite grain was detected in the microprobe mount. A few aluminous silica polymorph grains were also found. Ubiquitous shock melt pockets and veinlets are present throughout, most of which are silica-rich or albitic, although some are diopsidic in composition, and some have minor amounts of sulfur. Detected sulfides include: troilite, Ti-troilite, Cr-troilite, Mn-troilite, ferroan alabandite, ferromagnesian alabandite, daubreelite, and oldhamite. Metals include kamacite and taenite; Si was below detection limits in both metals. Rare schreibersite was observed.
