It seems that there was no meteorite in Mazsalaca, after all

Tele 2 head of marketing and sales Janis Sprogis stated, that Tele 2 is directly relevant to the "meteoritic fall" that took place near Mazsalaca.

"We simply wanted to inspire the people", - said Sprogis, mentioning, that the incident was staged.

He added that, in such a way, the company wanted to drag the attention of the World society to Latvia, which, judging by his words, can appeal not only with its crisis issues, but also from the point of something unusual.

Sprogis also promised to pay the damages the government had to suffer.

As it was reported by the mass media, this Sunday [25. Oct] a meteorite had fallen near Mazsalaca, creating a crater 20 meters (65 feet) diam and 3 meters (10 feet) deep. Still the scientist have determined that it was, most probably, a fake, at once.
