The tortoise dropped in unexpectedly when the villager, surnamed Fu, was sitting in front of his house, watching the heavy rain and hail. He thought it was just a leaf at first but discovered it was a tortoise when it started moving slowly.

Fu said he's never seen a tortoise fall out of the sky before and hopes the experts could explain the strange phenomenon.

The tortoise has now been put in a basin by Fu and his wife.
