                Meteorite hits kitchen garden in Belarus

                KRICHEV, MOGLYOV REGION, BELARUS. May 11
                (Interfax-West) - 

                   A meteorite frightened a teacher in the
                settlement of Krichev, Belarus' Mogilyov region,
                from her kitchen garden last week. 

                   Yekaterina Privalova was working when she heard
                a loud whistle, district information official
                Zinaida Skachkova told Interfax. The woman ran
                towards her house and heard a thud. 

                   Privalova called in neoghbors and approached a
                pit about a meter deep and 0.4 meters wide. Using
                a spade, they extracted a round object whose edges
                were molten. It was a dark silver-colored stone
                weighing 0.47 kilograms. It was still warm. [BY
