Moreover, in the day of incident a witness living 2.5 km from Karki observed a strange, metallic object in a form of half-moon encircled with a ring. Other witness stated that a "column of light" was observed in the pond area on 13th February*.
"NECTON LABORATORY" group is presently involved in the investigation of the case. The pond was closed from visitors by its owner. The secret of that night [or a part of it] remained hidden under 3 m. deep under the ice surface.According to first opinions given by the group, presence of radioactive pollution may refer to a meteoric origin of the object [it would be the 5th one meteorite found on Latvian territory] but other possibilities [for example space junk] hasn't been excluded.
Further investigation will also prove whether alleged UFO sightings that took were reported by locals have something in common with the falling of the object or if two distinct phenomena coincided.
* Other sources mention that amongst the witnesses was a local girl and also suggest that more local inhabitants might witness the event. "6 beams of light" in the pond area are also mentioned. Information about alleged UFO sighting that might coincide with falling of the object need verification.
