NASA says that a man in Tamil Nadu, India, was likely not killed by a meteorite.
According to CNN, NASA said, “Initial assessments, based on photos posted online, are not consistent with something from space. Small meteorites do not start fires or cause explosions when they hit the ground.”
“To form a crater the size of what has been posted online would have required a meteorite of at least several kilograms. While more details may be forthcoming from local scientists, this is unlikely something from space.”
