Meteorite Down On Altai
Russia IC
January 17, 2007

In Altaisky Krai scientists are searching for meteorite, which fell from
the sky not long ago. Barnaul planetarium is receiving a great number of
telephone calls from people, who have seen the fireball falling.
      .
Natalia Pavlova, research fellow of Barnaul planetarium, said that
on 10 January many people have observed a fireball falling down and
making a loud noise.
      
Scientists have data that first meteorite fall was detected in
Altaisky Krai in 1840. Since then about twenty meteorites have fallen in
said region. Four of celestial bodies have been detected here in 21st
century.
      
Fellows of Barnaul planetarium ask people who have seen the
meteorite falling or know the place where it fell to report any possible
details. Thus, scientists expect to specify the area of meteorite fall
to start searching for the guest from space.
