2009 Latvian meteorite hoax
The 2009 Latvian meteorite hoax was a publicity stunt in which Swedish-based telecommunications company Tele2 staged an apparent meteorite landing which was later revealed to be fake.
==The "Meteorite" incident==
The drama began at around 17:30 local time (15:30 GMT) in Latvia on Sunday 25 October 2009. Student Ancis Steinbergs reported that a fiery meteor-like object had fallen in a field outside the town of Mazsalaca near the Estonian border.〔 Reports described the object lighting up the evening sky with a blazing trail〔 and hitting the ground with a loud crash,〔 leaving a burning crater claimed to be around wide and from up to deep. Fire crews, police and military units attended the site, which was cordoned off while tests were carried out to check radiation levels.〔 The crater quickly attracted scientific and media interest amid widespread speculation about the origin of the object.
Steinbergs also filmed a video in which he and his two companions (his girlfriend and another student) approach the smoking crater and talk to each other excitedly when they apparently discover a burning mass at the bottom of the crater. The deliberately amateur style of the video, with shaky handheld camerawork and apparently spontaneous reactions from the students, has been compared to The Blair Witch Project.〔 The video was published on YouTube and news websites,〔〔
〕 attracting worldwide interest. Landowner Larisa Gerasimova reportedly charged visitors the equivalent of $2 each to view the crater.〔
