I just got an interesting phone call from Morocco.
It seems that this may be bigger than even the Moroccans are saying. 
I was told that more than one metric TON of meteorite fragments are recovered, and that apparently a massive stone fell in the Atlas mountains forming a crater, and shattering the stone into thousands of fragments. Not one complete stone found, only again MORE THAN ONE TON of fragments. 
I am awaiting photos. This one could be interesting! The area is completely under heavy snow right now though.
