Fallen meteorite draws thousands
Asela Kuruluwansa
A stone particle resembling a meteorite which had fallen into a
quarry at Aladeniya, Kandy, near the seventh mile-post last morning drew
a curious crowd. Several thousands gathered by noon yesterday to see the
particle which was about 20 inches in diameter and weighed nearly 5 Kg.
A team led by CEA Assistant Director Senarath Bandara removed the
particle for further investigations.
