[info at niger-meteorite-recon.de]

It seems we have a new confirmed meteorite fall in Spain. According to this local press release from AGENCIA EFE, the fireball from May 10, 2007 dropped quite some material. The description speaks of a rare meteorite type with “shiny” black crust which may indicate an eucrite.
