Some villagers took the pieces of "meteors" to take home as souvenirs.

Scientists from the Indian Meteorological Agency also went to the village and took samples for analysis. The results show that this is a "green ice" block, the term used to refer to human waste combined with bleach, falling from civil aircraft and freezing because of low temperatures at high altitudes.

"This object was identified as the waste of people falling from aircraft," said Vivek Kalia, an official at the Haryana Urban Development Agency.

An Indian court ruled that airlines would be fined to compensate for environmental damage if aircraft waste fell from the air. Firms could be fined about $ 783 if they were found to have discharged waste between flights.

The aircraft will be subjected to unexpected inspections and penalties if the waste tank is empty when landing. The court demanded that the aviation administration agency act after receiving evidence from a retired military official that his house in Delhi was frequently hit.
