Fragments of a suspected spacecraft continued to fall in villages of Gujarat. Four days after “metal balls” fell in three villages; fragments of a suspected space vehicle fell in Khodiyarpura in Sojitra taluka on Monday.
Police have registered a “note case” in the matter and begun an inquiry.
According to district collector MY Daxini, the district was awaiting a report from experts. “There have been two more incidents reported from Sojitra taluka. Both areas are located close by. A part that resembles a footscale fell in both places, and in Kasor village it fell on a pen near a house and killed a lamb…We have sent all the items, including the metal spheres that fell last week, to the Physical Research Laboratory of the ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation). They have collected all the parts and are examining them,” Daxini said.
Metal balls weighing about six kilogrammes fell in three locations in Anand district on May 12 evening—Bhalej, Khambholaj, and Rampura—raising speculation that they were part of a space vehicle. A suspected space vehicle part also fell in the Savli taluka of the Vadodara district on May 15.
According to Kasor residents, the “partially burning” object fell from space accompanied by lightning and a loud sound.
