Hello List,

  Recent Indian news has reported another fall; this
one was in Rajasthan. Total weight of of the one
recovered meteorite was 6.8kgs. The news was rather
brief and no other details were given other than a
brilliant light and loud sound occured just prior to
the fall/find.
  Given the recent flooding in that area and others in
India, it is hard to say if more meteorites will be
recovered from this or other recent falls.

  Best, Dirk...Tokyo
