The video discusses the discovery of a meteorite in Poland's Morasko Meteorite Reserve, found by a couple using a probe to detect electromagnetic anomalies. The meteorite, weighing 300 kilograms, was buried 2.5 meters deep and revealed its true form after cleaning. Meteorites are typically magnetic, heavy, and covered with a mineral crust. The largest meteor shower in this region occurred 5000 years ago, and 1.5 tons of meteorites have been found at the reserve. While meteorites enter Earth's atmosphere daily, most burn up. The meteorite's market value is high, but its scientific value is greater, offering insights into Earth's core and the universe's creation.
