Residents in Sukawati village in Gianyar regency, around 20 kilometres north of Denpasar, reported the appearance of a mysterious crater in the middle of a paddy field Wednesday.
The hole was allegedly caused by a falling meteorite fragment.
One meter wide and around 30 centimetres deep, the cavity has turned into a large puddle in the heavy rains that have showered the area since New Year's Eve.
