Eastern Cape Folks Awed By Meteorite Swishing Across The Sky [Video]

South African and global news updates with a twist. 2oceansvibe is South Africa’s biggest solely owned online news platform with local and world news updates.

Word on the street is that something fierce—maybe a meteorite or even a satellite—crashed down near the Eastern Cape. The ground shook, the sky sparked, and some locals were left with bated breath, wondering if it was an earthquake. However, according to Weather Guru, a Facebook page run by Garth Sampson, a former employee of the South African Weather Service, it was definitely not an earthquake, even though it is unclear exactly what happened.

There are many reports of what sounded like "an explosion" in the areas of Humansdorp, Patensie and Addo, and as far afield as Sedgefield and George. The South African National Space Agency is yet to confirm if the sighting was in fact a meteorite. Since the sky has not been the same as what we know it, as there are 6,281 of Elon Musk's Starlink satellites in orbit , it could very well be descending space junk.
