It's not every day that a meteor goes for touch-down on Earth, right? So it would be considered a rather rare phenomenon and who wouldn't want to be witness to it? Well, thinking the same, villagers at Gurugram's Fazilpur Badli village got rather excited as they spotted a 'mysterious' object falling from the sky.

It was reported that a crowd from the village gathered around the 'ethereal' object that had just landed in a field with a great "thud". It was an icy white stone with a "transparent surface" which the villagers deemed as a rare celestial gem or even a 'meteor'! However, their doubts were out to rest after scientists, who had been rushed to the site by the administration as word about the incident spread, confirmed that the 'ethereal' object was, in fact, human waste that was probably thrown out of a passing aircraft mid-air.

Well, now we can't really blame the villagers, can we? Who isn't just waiting for a meteor to fall in their hands? However, human faeces falling from the sky...let's just call it a stinky surprise, shall we?
