A possible meteorite about the size of a football crash-landed in a village in India.

The suspected space rock smashed into a paddy field in Mahadeva village in Bihar, located in eastern India, on Monday afternoon, according to the Times of India.

Images show local villagers gathered around the muddy crater.

The Bihar Chief Minister’s office said in a statement that the meteorite weighed about 30 pounds and had magnetic properties, CNN reported.

The state’s Chief Minister Nitish Kumar tweeted a photo of the rock and said that it’s currently on display at the Bihar Museum. According to CNN, it will then be transferred to the Srikrishna Science Center to confirm if it is a meteorite.

Meteorites are pieces of meteors that survive a trip through the Earth’s atmosphere and hit the ground, according to NASA. Most meteorites found on Earth are between the size of a pebble and fist, although scientists believe meteors larger than 100-feet across have created massive impact craters in the past.

One of these space rocks can easily resemble a regular rock from Earth.

In 2018, a Michigan man had been using a meteorite worth about $100,000 as a doorstop for years before the 22.5-pound chunk of iron was identified by a geology professor at Central Michigan University.

The easiest way to distinguish a meteorite from an Earth rock is usually by its shiny, burnt exterior. NASA calls this the “fusion crust” because the outer surface melts while passing through the atmosphere.
