In other words, they belonged to the same meteoroid before falling to Earth, and split into several meteoroids in the atmosphere and fell to the ground.

The discovery of this meteorite is of great significance for determining the fall age of the meteorite in Qinghe County and looking for other possible meteorites.

Although it was not the expected eighty tons, it was more than enough.

Everyone present was delighted.

On the Internet, the deceased suggested that the stone be named "Tears of Allah".

After descending the mountain, Helati's wife gave birth to a baby boy, which everyone said was a double blessing. The happy life that Helati was looking forward to didn't seem far away from him.

On the day of the descent, the local tourist office announced the discovery of the large meteorite in the Crane Canyon. Subsequently, the city government, with great efficiency, pulled the meteorite out of the mountain.

"Mainly to protect meteorites. ”

Director Shi of the Altay Tourism Bureau, who went up the mountain together, said that when he saw this meteorite, he found that there were many cutting marks on it, and he was very distressed.

Helati is well aware of the reason for these marks: "It is believed that these are the tears of Allah, and whoever has difficulties in life will cut a little 'silver' from it in exchange for money, but at the same time he will slaughter a sheep in front of the stone to thank God for his gift." ”

There are also greedy people who want to blow it up with explosives when they see that such a heavy meteorite can't be taken away, and they can take as much as they can.

At this time, the news of the discovery of the meteorite had spread, and rumors were that someone had set their sights on the meteorite.

At that time, the government asked local herders to take care of the meteorite, but the summer pasture ended in September, and it was difficult to prevent people with bad intentions from entering the mountains.

It took the government a month to get the meteorite out.

They put it in the open space of the Altay Garden Management Office, where it was wrapped in white iron sheets and has been there since it came out of the mountain.

The government "protected" the meteorite, but forgot about Helati and Galheng.

The government has not moved on the rich reward, and they can't sit still.

They have no opinion on nationalization, but don't they say that there are heavy rewards?

waited and waited, but the heavy reward that the two were expecting did not come.

They found Zhang Gaogong, and Zhang Gaogong spread his hands: "I can't control this matter, you go to the local government." ”

Zhang Gaogong sympathized with them, and he also knew that if the discoverers were not properly encouraged, would anyone hand them over to the state in the future?

The study and protection of meteorites is also the right of citizens, not exclusively owned by the state, and the law should encourage people to discover meteorites so that both the state and individuals can benefit.

When the stars fall from the sky, who does it belong to? This is really a question.

In fact, if this meteorite was very small, it would have been picked up a long time ago, and the government would not have intervened.

It is precisely because the meteorite is so large and heavy that no one has the ability to carry it away that the right to fate becomes a problem.

The two approached the government with the honorary certificate issued by Zhang Gaogong Institute in Beijing Planetarium, and the response was: The government must have a basis for giving money, and if it finds a basis, it will give a reward.

When Hailati heard the reason, he came back to check the information and found that there was no relevant reward provision in the law, and he also found that the government could not find a relevant legal basis for the state ownership of the meteorite.

After several setbacks, the government only agreed to give them a reward of 5,000 yuan each, which was too far from the psychological expectations of the two, and they did not accept the money.

Jia Erheng was bitter, at that time Zhang Gaogong said that one person would have one million, and they expected that one million might not be there, but at least they would give them hundreds of thousands.

Hairat and Galheng made representations to the government as "discoverers", which the government denied.

Hela asked, "Why give us money if we say we're not the discoverers?"

The answer was, "We are deeply touched by the hard work you have done this." ”

The government denied that the meteorite was discovered by Hailati and Garheng, and the reason is clear: in 2004, Sun Sun, then secretary of the Altay Municipal Party Committee, went up the mountain to see the meteorite.

Secretary Sun, who is currently the leader of the CPPCC in Altay Prefecture, recalled that in the winter of 2003, when he was conducting research in Hongdun Town, the village party secretary of the first team of local animal husbandry mentioned to him that there was a "strange stone" in the summer pasture, and in 2004, accompanied by local herdsmen, he found this "strange stone".

"It's clear that someone has carved handwriting on it, both in Kazakh and in Russian. Secretary Sun said that at that time, he had confirmed that this should be a meteorite, and considered protecting it and developing it into a tourist attraction in the future.

However, it is difficult to prove whether Secretary Sun found a "strange stone" or a "meteorite", because no slices were sent for inspection at that time, and only the regional cultural relics department was later reported.

The development of tourist attractions is only an idea of the leadership team, and there is not even a plan to transport it out of the mountain.

Secretary Sun's explanation was: "At that time, I calculated that it would cost three or four hundred thousand yuan to build a road, which was not a small amount of money at that time. ”

Since then, this "strange stone" is still little known in the local area.

But in the meteorite world, the search for this meteorite soon became a hot topic.

The "Tears of Allah" have been found, and the "treasure hunt" has been completed.

Who was the first discoverer, but they were in a dispute.

Rex, who came with Zhang Gaogong to find the meteorite, is actually the founder and administrator of the "China Meteorite Forum", and he saw a meteorite slice brought by Song Liang from Zhang Gaogong, which was found to be a pair of meteorites of "Silver Camel" after testing by the Beijing Planetarium.

This slice came from the city of Altay, so they determined the general direction of the search, and found Hailati and Garheng through Mr. Xu, a friend of the fallen in Xinjiang.

"At first, it cost me money to go into the mountains together, but then the Beijing Planetarium and I paid them. ”

Rex is also a well-known meteorite collector and "star hunter".

He argues that Helati and Galheng were commissioned to find the meteorite and that there was an employment relationship, and that it would be inappropriate to say that they were the discoverers, and that it would be even more inappropriate to claim ownership.

Hairati and Garheng denied being hired by Rex, and only admitted that they had received money from the Beijing Planetarium on their last visit to the mountain.

Another friend who participated in the first search blogged about the incident, calling Hairati and Garheng "guides and teammates."

Surprisingly, the contractor of the ranch where the meteorite was discovered made the same request, and earlier than Hellati.

"In 1986, my family found this stone. The two brothers, Juman and Kendebek, held a pasture certificate, saying that they had reported it to the village committee that year, and that the government had conducted an inspection in 1992, but there was no result, and they only said that they should take good care of this "strange stone".

On July 23, 2011, when everyone knew that the "strange stone" was a "meteorite", the Juman family approached the village committee and issued a letter of introduction, in which the village committee believed that the ownership of the "strange stone" should belong to them.

Juman took the letter of introduction to the city government, but was led back by the township cadres.

While the government was transporting the meteorite, the Üman family clashed with the engineers.
