Strange metallic objects of significant size have fallen in several regions of India over the past two months, leaving residents bewildered and questioning whether this is a cosmic omen.
On May 12, residents of Anand district in Gujarat were astonished to witness strange metallic spheres falling from the sky.
According to media reports, these spheres from space fell at three locations in Anand district: Bhalej, Khambholaj, and Rampura.
An object resembling a sphere was found by villagers, causing them great distress, prompting them to immediately call local authorities.
According to the Indian Express, the object is a large black metallic sphere, weighing about 5 kg, which was first discovered in Bhalej at around 4:45 PM. Similar cases were reported in Khambholaj and Rampura, which are about 15 km apart.
The district police recorded the incident and contacted experts from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to begin an investigation, as reported by the Indian Express.
Earlier, on the night of April 2, glowing debris was seen in the skies over Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. Shortly after, residents discovered six large metallic spheres and a metal ring with a diameter of about 3 meters on the ground. Villagers promptly reported this to local authorities.
A metal ring with a diameter of about 3 meters fell from the sky in India on April 2.
Recently, on May 16, a piece of metal also fell in Khodiyarpura in Sojitra taluka. The debris hit a young sheep, resulting in its immediate death.
Numerous images of strange objects falling from the sky in India in recent days have sparked a stir among online communities. Some speculate that these could be extraterrestrial objects or a divine warning. Many believe it could be a “curse,” while others express concern for the safety of local residents.
The Physics Research Laboratory, an institute operated by the government’s Space Department, has stepped in to investigate the situation.
The Forensic Science Laboratory has “contacted” the Physics Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad and the Space Applications Centre of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to determine whether the metallic parts are debris from a satellite or rocket.
The ISRO team, including scientists M Shahajahan and Mayuresh Shetty, visited the Sindewahi police station in Chandrapur, where these objects were stored, to provide an initial assessment. They suggested that these could be space debris from the Long March rocket of China launched on February 4, 2021.
If confirmed, this would mark the second time this year that a Chinese rocket has returned to Earth in an uncontrolled manner.
