The northern parts of South Africa were treated to an incredible sight on Saturday night as a meteor lit up the night sky “like daylight”. The Meteor is believed to have made impact with Earth somewhere around Botswana
It has since emerged that there are a couple of CCTV cameras that caught glimpses of the flying rock, and as the friendly reader-loving bloggers we are, we have acquired both of them for y’all.
A highly reputable newspaper from the United Kingdom, The Telegraph, reported, “The meteor was spotted by dozens people as it passed over Johannesburg and Pretoria in Kauteng province on Saturday”. Wow, they are going to have trouble getting there journos to soccer games next year.
Eye witnesses recount seeing a “big green ball of fire”, that “came out of the blue” and “There was sudden flash. Like an orange stripe in the sky, followed by a very bright explosion where the sky lit up as if it was daytime”. Seems like it was quite a colourful night.
They really are quite incredible clips Enjoy.

Sick shit!
First aliens over joburg… now meteors?
Aren’t there ppl that blow those up before they reach earth?
Ya dude, they must have missed that one. It’s only a matter of time before a rock the size of a Volkswagen comes and splats Newlands hey.
From the video it looks like a nuclear attack.
That is cool,
Did you heard any news about where exactlly it hits the ground?
Thanks,

I believe it broke apart somewhere in the atmosphere, so there wouldn’t be any real impacts, except for a few fragments which might have burnt a hole through someone’s car or shed roof or something.
