By: kjfitz.
This spot in Horsell, Surrey, England was the location for the first UFO landing in H G Well's novel The War of the Worlds.
"But very early in the morning poor Ogilvy, who had seen the shooting star and who was persuaded that a meteorite lay somewhere on the common between Horsell, Ottershaw, and Woking, rose early with the idea of finding it. Find it he did, soon after dawn, and not far from the sand pits. An enormous hole had been made by the impact of the projectile, and the sand and gravel had been flung violently in every direction over the heath, forming heaps visible a mile and a half away. The heather was on fire eastward, and a thin blue smoke rose against the dawn."

Eventually the imam of the Masjid Hazrat Abu Bakr Islamic Center learned of the investigation and contacted the man’s family to let them know that he was subject of a law enforcement inquiry.
The feds "are mad about it," the source said.

The northern province of al-Jawf is one of 14 emirates, the primary Administrative Regions of the country. Al Jawf [Al-Jouf, Jowf variants) was formed with the 1993 union of Al Qurayyat and Al Jawf regions. In the remote northern frontier region on the edge of the Great Nafud Desert, Al-Jawf and the nearby ruins of Dumat Al-Jandal, is an important city during the Nabataean, Roman and early Islamic periods. Saudi authorities closed an airport in the northern Al Jawf region close to the border with Iraq on 21 March 2003, shortly after the United States began military strikes on Iraq, residents said. The airport in Al Jawf, which also hosts a military air base, was the second to be shut in as many weeks. Arar airport, some 15 kilometres from the frontier with Iraq, had been closed since 06 March 2003. Flights to Al Jawf Airport, some 150 kilometres south of Arar, had been cancelled, travellers quoted airport authorities as saying. No reason was given for the move.

Hawk missile battery
The Raytheon MIM-23 HAWK is an American medium range surface-to-air missile. As a backronym, some consider HAWK to stand for Homing All the Way Killer. The HAWK was initially designed to destroy aircraft and was later adapted to destroy other missiles in flight. The missile entered service in 1960, and a program of extensive upgrades has kept it from becoming obsolete. It was superseded by the MIM-104 Patriot in United States Army service by 1994. It was finally phased out of US service in 2002, the last users, the US Marine Corps replacing it with the man-portable ir-guided visual range FIM-92 Stinger. The missile was also produced outside the US in Western Europe and Japan.
Although the United States never used the Hawk in a combat situation, it has been employed numerous times by foreign nations. Approximately 40,000 of the missiles were produced.
Janes reports that the original systems single shot kill probability was 0.56, I-HAWK improved this to 0.85.
Similar Soviet systems are the SA-3 and SA-6.
