AP said, meteorite mass of about 135 g and only as small as a peanut. The John Valley geologist of the University of Wisconsin said the tiny piece of rock was covered with a layer of paper-thin black. This black layer forms when meteorites are heated in the process of rubbing against the earth's atmosphere.

Meteors fly in the sky of many US states from around 10pm on April 14. It moved from west to east. Witnesses saw it glow in about 15 minutes. Before reaching the horizon, the fireball broke into smaller pieces and disappeared.

Valley said the man who found the piece of stone asked the University of Wisconsin scientists to analyze it. Preliminary analyzes suggest that the "sky stone" falling into the US last week came from a meteorite belt between Mars and Jupiter.
