Military says not related to Satellite collision last week.
Any reports if this object made it to the ground???

The Egyptians made use of meteoritic iron too, way before the iron age kicked off.
Maybe this site was visited in the aftermath of the impact and fragments traded with the dynastic north.
Very interesting.
