Meteorite dropped in Australia's school, NASA scientist shocked by investigation.
The grass was uprooted due to a meteorite on the playground. Due to its wear, there was a pit. Smoke was coming out. But when it was revealed what it is, many people were surprised along with NASA scientists?
Principal of Malanda State School in North Queensland, Mark Allen said that we are being asked questions from all over the world regarding this incident.
Upon hearing the news of a meteorite falling in Australia, experts from the US space agency NASA reached the school to investigate it. There was a siege on the spot. Police was standing.
According to the news of the Daily Mail website, when NASA scientist questioned the school's principal, teachers, and they were surprised to investigate that meteorite.
Mark Allen told NASA scientist that this is not a meteorite from space. Rather it is part of school assignment. We have done this to give information about meteorites to children.
Mark Allen said that the children were asked to prepare a report on the landing of meteorites. They were also told that you have to talk to the eyewitnesses in this.
The activism of the police and administration has to be put in the report. We therefore created this meteorite in the playground. It is a hot ball made of charcoal.
Local police and administration also helped to teach children about meteorites. The whole incident was created as if a meteorite had come from space and fallen in the school.
Then the children were informed of the meteorite by Daniel Moss, a local citizen. It happened that this project was posted on social media without telling anyone that a meteorite has dropped here.
Seeing the picture on social media, NASA scientist also reached there, but when the matter was revealed, he looked angry and surprised.
Because the meteorite's landing looked very real. No one had guessed that this school project of this small town would be seen by people all over the world in this way.
