Description 4.62 gram slice ordinary chondrite (LL6). On September 12, 2008 around 0830, villagers in Tamil Nadu, India heard loud screeching sounds followed by house shaking explosions. Bright flashes and smoke were also observed. Witnesses speculated that an accidental bomb drop from a military plane was the culprit and craters left behind seemed to support this theory. It was later determined that a huge stony meteorite had pummeled the area. This is the largest Indian fall on record.
