Video footage of the Meteor Shower in Midrand
I know this is a Cape Town blog and all, but some things are just worth publishing. Check this video footage, which was captured by a security camera situation on the Mustek building in Midrand on 21st November 2009:
Pretty incredible isn’t it?
If you know anything more about this, please do let me know :)
UPDATE:
“Johannesburg and Pretoria residents have come forward, claiming they spotted a meteor in the skies on Saturday night. People in Gauteng saw the bright light at around 11pm on Saturday night, heading towards the north of Pretoria “We saw this big green ball of fire. it kind of came out of the sky, out of the blue,” one resident said. “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,” another explained. Astronomers and scientists are still trying to find out where the meteor landed. Ronnie McKenzie collects meteorites and said something like this is very rare. “I would say it probably happens around two or three times a year around the world,” he said. via
