New York: A land based explosion rather than a meteorite is more likely to have killed a man and injured three others in a mysterious blast in Vellore district of Tamil Nadu last week, Nasa scientists said on Wednesday. Tamil Nadu chief minister Jayalalithaa had said that it was a meteorite fall that caused the mishap.
However, Nasa scientists said that the photographs posted online were more consistent with a land based explosion rather than with something from space. The New York Times’ reported. Scientists from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics are analysing samples of the rock.
