Another expedition arrived to the Altai Republic to search for
meteorite, which has fallen this January, and to talk with people, who
witnessed this event.
      
Expedition crew will visit Uglovsky and Egorievsky districts,
where an unknown celestial body has fallen. Head of the expedition
claims he did not believe data obtained by "Kosmopoisk" (Space Search)
crew. Scientists says only Meteorite Committee can make the final
decision whether found rocks were meteorites.
      
"Kosmopoisk" crew has recently announced about discovery of
meteorite fragments and passing them to the Meteorite Committee for
further analysis. However, there is no information about any analysis
performed to date.
      
Researchers plan to specify meteorite's flight trajectory for
calculating its impact point. Only after that scientists will starts
searching for meteorite or its fragments.
