A local heritage advocate is urging the local government of Kalibo town, Aklan province to trace what happened to the meteorite that fell more than 100 years ago.
Jess Fernandez, founder of RoAkeanon community, said that scientific journals have published that a meteorite weighing 2.4 kilograms fell in Kalibo on May 26, 1916.
Scientific journals dubbed it as the “Calivo Meteorite.”
The meteorite, which landed with the coordinates of 11° 45’N, 122° 20’E of Kalibo, is classified as an Achondrite stone.
“I hope the local government of Kalibo will find a team to locate where the meteorite fell,” Fernandez said.
“If found, it could be another tourism lure for Kalibo,” Fernandez added.
The said meteorite find is also one of the 50 approved meteorites in the world according to the Meteorological Society, the International Society for Meteorites and Planetary Science.
