It is very likely that it was a recent fall, Doug, but it is a very mountainous area, full of narrow gorges, caves, .... An area I know quite well. |

Such a rare and fresh find ... I wonder if any reports around a month earlier remain to be matched with the fireball it must have been? Thanks Anne! |
