METEORITE FALLS
Moscow (AP) - A large meteorite fell recently in the Urais area. It
exploded 22 miles over the earth's surface.
Its fragments were scattered over an area of about 150 square
kilometers. Many of these fragments already have been found and are being
studied by Soviet scientists. They weight up to forty kilograms each. The
meteorite belongs to a group of rare stone meteorites.
