Hello Ron,

I had a telephonic talk with Mr. Jhadav this evening.
He is sure that it could be a meteorite or something
similar. The area is hilly area covered with thick
forest making it difficult to look for the specimen.
The search is still on. If its a confirmed meteorite,
we plan to recover and possibily bring it to the lab
at PRL, Ahmedabad for analysis.

Clear skies
