“Éta Aquarida Meteorite Swarm Brings Alien Object and New Mineral Discovery”

The 10 x 15 cm alien object flew through the roof and landed on the wooden floor without injuring any of the residents of the house it landed on.

According to scientists, it is part of the Éta Aquarida meteorite swarm. The swarm is visible from about April 21 to May 20 each year, with peak activity around May 6. Unlike most major meteor showers, this shower has no sharp peak maximum. Its maximum is more like an elevated plateau lasting approximately one week around May 7th.

Éta Aquarids are best seen in the pre-dawn hours away from the glare of city lights. For northern observers, the shower is visible above the horizon several hours before dawn, and observers are often rewarded by the radiant rising in the pre-sunrise sky, thus increasing the observed frequency of meteors. However, the best view of the swarm is from the equator to 30 degrees south latitude.

Experts say that several hundred to a thousand small meteorites fall to earth every year. Most of them do not weigh more than half a kilo, and we rarely hear about their impact, because they fall either into the sea or on uninhabited places on land.
