Mysterious meteorite in Beijing, China?

Was there another meteorite fall on June 16 (or 27 ?) 2011, 8.00 pm or was it found somewhere?

It weighs 4936 g and seems to be 'special':

1 "one of its surface showing yellow and silver or white gold metallic minerals, metal melting point and the obvious massive class, not an ordinary chondrite stone"

2. "the surface through its coin-sized internal damage we can see that show green meteorite, meteorites do not generally gray, indicating its special ingredients"

3. "third is the color of their skin with black and brown, and dark and different from ordinary meteorites"

possible witness report from a Mr. Zhang:

"Mr Zhang said, according to this year, June 27 8:00 pm, he was walking to the ground, suddenly the sky came the same as the roar of landing aircraft, there are things sped to hit the ground at a height of a man splashes soil, feeling like a bomb landed about 10 minutes later, he boldly and watch as more than a stone in the ground, touched the warm feeling well, next to a few scattered fragments, so he will have collected rocks and debris.
