A strange piece of CCTV footage has emerged from a museum housing
a fragment of the Chelyabinsk
meteor. The meteor struck the earth on the
15th of February 2013 and burst apart above the city of Chelyabinsk
in the Southern Urals region of Russia .
The explosion was 0.8 megatons, more powerful than most nuclear bombs, but
luckily it happened very high up, at an altitude of 90,000 feet, so the
shockwave only broke a few windows. Some people had to be treated for cuts from
flying glass, but there were no serious injuries. The pieces of the meteor scattered
over a wide area and some were recovered, including the piece in question. It is
in a display cabinet at the State History
Museum in Chelyabinsk
which consists of a table where the fragment is placed, covered by a pyramid of
glass. In the footage the pyramid slowly rises into the air. It hovers for a
few minutes and then descends back into place. This happens very slowly, over a
number of minutes; in fact the footage has been speeded up so we can see it. There
is currently no explanation for how this happened. This has sometimes been
reported as a "levitation", IE the lid rising into the air with
nothing to support it; but it was not. There is an electric mechanism for
lifting the lid, but it was deactivated; so this is almost as mysterious as if
it were a true levitation. The museum's curator Vladimir Bogdanovsky said: "We
spoke to all our specialists in electronics and wiring who said unanimously
that it was impossible to have it opening by itself." What's more the
cabinet has an alarm that sounds whenever the cover is lifted unless it is deactivated
by a special key that only the staff have. Source: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/meteorite-mysteriously-moves-itself-scaring-21117972.
One explanation is that this was an attempted theft, probably an inside job
involving an accomplice on the staff who could have raised the lid and
deactivated the alarm. There is a lucrative black market trade in stolen meteorites,

However in this case it makes no sense. The incident happened in the middle of
the day when the museum was full of people. If it had taken place at night when
the museum was closed I could have believed that solution. Some people have
claimed that the fragment on display at the museum is actually part of a flying
saucer, but it clearly is not. It is a true meteorite, a natural lump of space
rock. However, could there be something special about this particular meteorite
that might interest intelligences beyond this world? Entities that have the
means to hack lifting mechanisms and alarms? Could the Chelyabinsk
meteorites be hot property for the extraterrestrial equivalent of mineral
prospectors? We shall see if there are any other weird incidents involving that
museum piece.
