[meteorite-list] Fireball over Spain : the meteorite has been found!

[Michael Farmer]

I have translated the article, and although it could be true, I have my 
doubts that the stone is the meteorite.
The guy says he searched all night after seeing the fireball and found the 
stone, in a small pit with smoke coming off of it and says that it looks 
like granite. He says that it is not totally burned and that it was still 
warm.
Somehow, it seems to me that this guy could just be so excited that he is 
just making it up as he goes.
