In France, for the first time in history, a meteorite fell to Earth was officially documented

The Khoba meteorite is considered to be the oldest meteorite that fell to Earth about 30,000 years ago. North Namibia. Africa.

In South-West France, near the Gascon town of Barbotan, in the Gers department, a meteorite fell on July 24, 1790, which was immediately notified to the Academy of Sciences.

Although this incident was officially witnessed by local authorities, one of the academics, the famous French chemist Claude Berthollon, said: “It’s sad that the whole municipality enters into the protocol folk tales, presenting them as really seen, whereas not only a physical cause, but nothing reasonable can be explained.” Confident that "the Gascons were always big dreamers and boasters," the pundits adopted a resolution calling on citizens to continue not to react to such "superstitions."

Even at the end of the 18th century, scientists still did not believe that meteorites were falling to Earth from outer space. Only in 1803, the reality of the “celestial” origin of meteorites was officially recognized by them. When the terrible “stone rain” broke out in the town of Egle, which was covered with shrapnel and witnessed by many excited watchers, the French Academy of Sciences was forced to agree that these were really “stones from the sky”.

Now it is believed that meteorites are fragments of asteroids and comets. Meteorites are named after the places where they were found. In some cases, not one but several fragments are found. For example, after the meteor shower of 1912 in the United States, Holbrook (Arizona) collected more than 20,000 "heavenly stones."
