Meteor Pulled From Lake, Then Russians Drop It

Meteor Recovery



A chunk of the Chelyabinsk meteorite, which wounded more than 1,000 people when it exploded over Russia in February, has been found and raised from its resting place 20 metres under in a lake.

The chunks will now be sent off for further analysis and should provide more insight into the composition of the rock itself. But one Russian loony man is protesting, saying the rock is a holy object from God that is broadcasting secret messages.

They didn't drop it, they were breaking off samples to send to other labs so they could collaborate their findings.

As far as the loon goes, maybe he's trying to start Islam 2.0. Soon we'll be seeing a new town growing in Russia, Meccosvoco.

Is this the one that was recorded by so many locals earlier this year?

The one that landed in the frozen lake and so many people claimed it was a hoax or shot down with missiles?
