Response to WPF Fireball thread: AN Lying Again

[Socialite]

My message to AMS:

Quote:
I recently came along this religious site that attributed, what was
most likely the major bolide that occurred on January 11th, to an act
of God approving their religious retreat.

Also, the article stated that someone in your organization visited the
church and somehow confirmed this was not a meteor.

"The following day after the fireball sighting, the American Meteor
Society showed up looking for the the supposed meteorite. After
searching for two days, they finally gave up and concluded it was not
a meteor."

Did any one in your organization take such action?
The response of Robert Lunsford,Operations Manager and Journal Editor of AMS:

This is actually really big news.

Was AN misinformed? Did they fabricate this?
