Malaysian telemetry device sparks panic in MP village

A device called a radiosonde, which is used to measure weather conditions, fell from the sky in a village in Madhya Pradesh, India.

The device had a tag saying it was from the Malaysia Meteorological Department.

When the villagers saw it falling, they got scared and thought it might be something dangerous, like an explosive.

They told the police, who came and took the device.

The police said it was safe and used for measuring things like temperature and wind speed in the atmosphere.

Such devices are usually carried by balloons and can travel far from where they were launched because of strong winds.

The police asked people not to touch any such devices if they find them and to tell the police instead.
