Debris from a fireball that streaked across the sky on the East Coast of the United States earlier this week has yet to be found, but a separate meteor over India made its eventual landing sight far easier to discover. Villagers found a massive, muddy hole in a paddy field in the state of Bihar, and at the bottom was what appears to be a pristine example of a metal-rich space rock.
A statement from officials includes photos of the large rock, which is said to have magnetic properties, and while scientists have yet to confirm that it is indeed a meteorite, it certainly fits the description.
