Concurrent with the fall of Shergotty is a report of "meteor stones which fell in this Talook" near Bangalor on September 21, 1865. After describing the angle of incline, the witness Mahamed Ali investigates whether the stones were put there by villagers maliciously attempting to alarm their neighbours. Because no similar coloured stones are nearby, he is convinced that they are meteorites.
Kenda, another eyewitness, is picking grass only 200 meters from where one of the stones fell. He had heard the "report of a cannon fired three times" before watching something fall from the sky. He was "extremely terrified, his eyes were closed up from the rush of the smoky dust which rose directly after the fall of the stone, he did not go close to it, because he thought that some calamity had descended from the heavens." Kenda eventually took yet another eyewitness to the spot were they found something black, half of which was buried in the sandy soil of the field.
