An egg-sized stone from the sky at Kalli
Kanamunasuurune taevakivi Kallis
In July 1913 Postimees passed on a short report from another paper: on the 18th a small meteorite had fallen at Kalli in Pärnumaa. Once it had cooled, it was nothing more than a stone the size of a hen's egg, reddish-brown on the outside and whitish-grey within. The note gave no more details. The stone is not among the handful of recognised Estonian meteorites, so whether it really came from the sky remains unknown; perhaps it was lost, perhaps it was an ordinary stone found at the wrong moment. Today Kalli is a quiet village by a lake of the same name.

1913. aasta juulis kordas Postimees teise lehe lühikest teadet: 18. kuupäeval kukkunud Pärnumaal Kallis maha väike meteoriit. Jahtununa polnud see midagi muud kui kanamunasuurune kivi, pealt punakaspruun ja seest valkjashall. Rohkem üksikasju teade ei andnud. Seda kivi pole Eesti vähese tunnustatud meteoriidi hulgas, nii et kas see tõesti taevast tuli, jääb teadmata – võib-olla läks see kaduma, võib-olla oli see tavaline kivi, mis leiti valel hetkel. Täna on Kalli vaikne küla samanimelise järve ääres.
