St Francis meteorite | Scientists studying fragments

JOHANNESBURG - Wits scientists have confirmed a car-sized meteorite crashed into the ocean off St Francis Bay on Sunday.

Video footage shows the object thundering across the sky and breaking up into several parts in a loud blast.

Fragments have been found as far as a-hundred kilometres away in Kirkwood in the Eastern Cape.

A team of scientists from Wits and Nelson Mandela Universities are now studying the fragments.

We find out more from Roger Gibson from Wits School of Geosciences.
