Unconfirmed reports suggest that what seems to look like a meteor or satellite hit in the Eastern Cape town.
Did you feel it? Did you hear it?
Unconfirmed reports have been doing the rounds of a possible meteorite or satellite that hit close to the Patensie area in the Eastern Cape, causing people to think there might have been an earthquake.
According to Weather Guru, a Facebook page run by Garth Sampson, a former employee of the South African Weather Service, although it’s unclear exactly what happened, it was definitely not an earthquake.
Residents in the Mossel Bay area said they had heard two loud bang noises this morning, as did another resident in Great Brak.
Weather Guru said: “My rainfall group in the Langkloof started reporting what sounded like an earthquake. Later reports came through of what seems to look like a meteor or satellite. It apparently hit in the Patensie area.”
He said a video had been doing rounds on many groups and was sent to Weather Guru by Tsitsikamaboertjie from Assagaaibosch.
