Polish customs officers seize haul of meteorites on Russian truck
2005-09-09
Customs officers in Dorohusk, on Poland's border with Ukraine, have made an unusual seizure, confiscating nearly 530 kilogrammes (1,166 pounds) of pods meteorites they found hidden on a Russian-registered truck, officials said Friday. "In total, 529.5 kilogrammes of meteorites were confiscated, including three humanoid-shaped very big ones, weighing 176 kilos, 150 kilos and 80 kilos," Poland's customs service said in a statement. "They probably came from the same place in Siberia where a meteorite crashed in 1947," the statement said.
"Da, ve uncover them in Roswellski"
According to the truck's payload ledgers, its cargo was quartzite, a tough stone composed almost entirely of quartz grains, derived from sandstone. The truck was bound for the Czech Republic.
