Russian meteorite rain brings virus to Earth?

Scientists fear that the meteorite exploding in the sky of Chelyabinsk (Russia) could bring some new viruses and diseases to Earth.

The Russian space agency (Roskosmos) acknowledged that their telescopes could not find the meteorite falling on the country's Chelyabinsk region, because it had a very strange orbit and came from an unusual direction.

The meteorite explosion injured more than 1,000 people and caused many broken glass windows. However, the scientists of Roskosmos believe that the damage cannot be compared to other potential dangers. Because they fear meteors can bring some strange viruses and bacteria to Earth.

Until now, scientists have not been able to explain the unusual meteor shower in Chelyabinsk. They can only guess the exploding meteorite in the sky, this area is about 1-10m in diameter.

This is not the first meteorite to fall on Earth in an unusual way. German astronomer Illobrand von Ludwiger has been studying exotic meteorites for nearly 40 years and found that some meteorites are not like what scientists know about them.

In November 1956, two Swedish workers, Stig Ekberg and Harry Sjoberg, found a spherical object flattening in the sky while they were driving on the road. This object suddenly flew towards the car of two workers at a height of about 1m.

About 10 minutes later, the strange flying object flew away and left a hot stone on the ground. The shape of the stone is very special and appears to contain vofam carbide, a type of alloy used to make incandescent in the light bulb.
