KENDRAPARA: As the sky opened up in Kakat village, on the outskirts of this town, on Thursday, some
objects also fell from the heavens apart from the rain drops.

These objects, supposedly meteorites, weighed around 20 kg. Some villagers collected these pieces
and handed them over to the district administration.

Two years back some meteorites had fallen in the seaside villages of Mahakalpada and Rajnagar
blocks. The district administration has directed the villagers to deposit the objects with the
collectorate. It will be handed over to the Geological Survey of India, District Collector Hemant
Sharma said.
