From Jon Hinwood, Melbourne, Australia
Regretfully, I must strongly assert that there is no giant “iron of God” meteorite. If ever there had been, there would be widespread legends about it, artefacts made from it and religious rituals or taboos involving it. If we accept that Ripert was an honest observer and truly saw something, consider that desert mirages are a common phenomenon and often involve what seem like reflective, shiny pools of water that are sometimes greatly enlarged, usually with inverted scenery.
