A disaster management team from the Kouga municipality in the Eastern
Cape has been sent to the Baviaans area to inspect what is believed to
be the impact site of a meteorite.

According to farmers in the Patensie area they felt their homes rattling
on Sunday night.

Residents of Cambria told The Herald they had seen a blue flash of light
which illuminated the sky.

The light reportedly travelled from the direction of Jeffrey's Bay towards
Steytlerville. A bang was then heard and the impact could be felt for
kilometres - the residents said.

A number of Herald readers also reported seeing flashes of light and hearing
an explosion.

At midday on Monday - Kouga municipal spokeswoman Laura-Leigh Randall said
disaster management teams were investigating the possibility that a meteorite
had hit the area.
