Vitebsk resident argues that far from the house-museum of the famous artist Marc Chagall, he found a fragment of a meteorite. Sample mass slightly more than a kilogram, is a fused black stone, heavy on weight, interspersed with metal over the entire volume. If the stone to bring the magnet, the magnet it slightly to "heavenly stranger."
The lucky winner finds believes that this piece of the car, which flew through the Vitebsk region, and exploded in the air in the night from 15 to 16 July 2012. Although full confidence in this. Only a thorough chemical examination can determine whether the stone is part of the meteorite.
By tradition, the meteorite found in any locality, gets the name of the village, near which it was discovered. So will we have the first "Vitebsk meteorite", found in the city? And maybe it should be called the first "Chagall"?
