Scientists have found what they believe are pieces of a meteor that fell to Earth earlier this year. The objects were discovered July 2 off the coast of the United States in the Pacific Ocean. They were found near the northwestern state of Washington. The crew of the Nautilus, a private research ship, recovered the rock particles. The Nautilus is operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust. The group says its aim is to examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before. The search was launched after U.S. government weather stations observed a large meteorite exploding four months ago. The explosion lit up the sky and sent the rock particles falling to Earth. They landed in the Pacific on March 7, about 25 kilometers off the coast of Washington.
