Meteor observed over Johannesburg

A meteor was spotted in the skies on Saturday 21 November 2009 over Johannesburg.

People in the Gauteng Province 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 observer 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.  

The Johannesburg Planetarium has confirmed on Sunday that it was a meteor that lit up the skies and left many people looking up in awe.
