Meteorite hits kitchen garden in Belarus

KRICHEV, MOGLYOV REGION, BELARUS. May 11 (Interfax-West) -

A meteorite frightened a teacher in the settlement of Krichev, Belarus' Mogilyov region, from her kitchen garden last week.

Yekaterina Privalova was working when she heard a loud whistle, district information official Zinaida Skachkova told Interfax. The woman ran towards her house and heard a thud.

Privalova called in neoghbors and approached a pit about a meter deep and 0.4 meters wide. Using a spade, they extracted a round object whose edges were molten. It was a dark silver-colored stone weighing 0.47 kilograms. It was still warm.
