[xxmaximus213xx]

Calm down its just the aliens from District 9 paying us a visit

[ubentu]

XD If this shit happened during the missile crisis nations might have launched!

[Papascrub]

looks like the one i saw in salt lake city a few weeks ago, scared the living hell outta me while i was driving

[totallyrandom02]

I wonder how big the meteor was before it burned up in the atmosphere.

[legallyinsane456]

[Parent33w]

[jsonplzenlightenme]

Kameeeh! HAMEEEh-HAAAA!

[nelsondln]

i wonder how many people thought that was lightning? but theres no storm tonight!!??

[ColorBlind4Life]

why are meteor's so bright?

[mwwhahahahahaha]

@ColorBlind4Life because they burn up as they enter the atmosphere

[XxXWAKEXxX]

Damn looks like someone was about to bomb that place.

[JackkAttack09]

NUKE!

[ravens4100]

crazy.....i saw a smaller comet that same night burn up and land in the woods somwhere, i live in baltimore maryland

[Piscivorus]

That's a very good quality camera but the face plate was all dirty. Still a nice shot though.

[panopouroullis]

@Piscivorus

We recorded this on our security camera, that's why it's so dirty.

[918Murphy]

I hate how everybody thinks its the end of the world, 2012!!!!! Shut the fuck up, its not gonna happen

[maurizerios]

spectacular sight.

[Erc55]

pretty sure i woulda pooped my pants if i saw this in person not gonna lie!!!

[savvylildancer]

transformers. ;)

[devchonka18]

GOD IS COMMING SOON!

[beauch]

Start believing in God right now.

Lol.

[zachbenman]

Reminds me of New Mombasa in Halo

[kiidx1996]

it look like a bright ass comet

[littleAE86thatcould]

3-4 more years so it could go around the solar system and hit us.....(2012) And waht a coinesedence that its on a 21st.... :O

[gustavitousa]

the end is close!!!!!!

[phatboy0789]

looks like a test missile or something in the distance

[allenrw3]

holy shit falling from the sky batman!

[DeRealUno]

its so amazing!

so much light!!!! and just awesome.

[MikeoWar]

couldn't agree more :D

[treeturtwig0]

[igskater80s]

"transformers... robots in disguise"

[04ray25number2]

Run!!!!!

[thusday8]

hehe thats sumthing u dont c everyday!!!!!!!!

[Nebelvir123987]

imagine that hitting the ground and not just flying through atmo...would be also the last thing to see :-P

[brgimscht]

what if this thing would hit an airplane... insane explosion....

[horusabove]

Ok so that's what we will expect in 2012. Ok we better start fucking, times go fast.

[brookheron]

I was out near Empangeni about this same time and we saw a meteor. This was part of the Monoceros (The Unicorn) Metoer Shower, and was expected. Best viewing time was supposed to be 23:00 till 04:00 the next morning. It is interesting how precise the astronomers can predict this. Glad for the video, great work. Looks like something from Missle Defenders video game circa 1982,

[soupdup]

IT WAS THE SILVER SURFER! not.

[2crazychickz]

lolsss.

[GSatiFan]

i really would like to see something like that!

[juannakamori]

:S such a weird thing.. but for me the weird thing are date and hour. characters those changed from white into black, and reverse :s

[wtcmagictrick]

the letters change colors because of the brightness of the light, look again

[jerichok]

lol of course they do. How would you see the white letters in the day time if they didnt? and vice versa.

[strongsock]

lol obviously whoever edited this video did that so the date could be seen when the screen was white.

[Muusicca]

its so you can read it clearly...

[parkour720]

fucking dumb its because you can see it...

[JepoH3nkka]

crazy... I've seen an meteor too, about 6 years ago, that was the coolest thing I've ever seen

[gotomstergo]

not a meteor. thats a tomahawk missile

[voltzilla]

how do you know that?

[jjj5541]

damn, what an explosion!

[diemape]

it wasn't very big so it exploded before impacting earth

[voltzilla]

was it a small meteor that crashed to earth or just passing by?

[MrXarleko]

Probably the atmosphere just broke it into small pieces before hitting the Earth.

[W1LLPARKER]

the gov't is reading your mind!

[NerdMoose]

cool! i've never seen a meteor. but i''ve seen mars!

[RobRam2008]

dam. WERE AII GUNNA DIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Angrykevin1oo1]

[agentsmith462]

OPTIMUS HAD A BUMPY RIDE

[LynxLee]

[eliezerpoocats]

we're all gonna die!

[jondill]

duh...

[messiah1the1holy]

Sweet. E.T. is back

[Siniestroek]

what da fuck is dat!

[soundsliketruck]

This is quite clearly an alien space vehicle encountering a catastrophic accident upon entry into earths atmosphere. Shows aliens make mistakes, and are only human,,,,,well something anyway.

[rodoscrypt]

Vegeta is back!!! and he's over 9000!!!

[dan19884]

Goko is over 9000.

[Syeno]

you spelled Goku wrong you dumb ass....

[venornfongx]

FAKE!!!!!!

[MrWolfengard]

I'm sorry man, but that just made my day LOL

[FudProductions]

and 2012 is coming.

[Mshine67]

Looks more like Lightning in the clouds to me.

[BlonDDyKe]

if that is a meteor?...where is the shock wave?... or is it somthing else?!!!!. i saw other clip as well it got the same greenish light too?......wtf is happening?

[AbdulRa7eeM]

It was like it was morning.lol

[TheDepreso]

WOW,COOL

[Uselesscomment]

cool

[thesadtruthliveson]

UFO

[macomighty]

sick

[OCDGamer]

Funny how meteor fragments can earn you money. I hope I can soon buy me a specialized metal detector and make me some cash.

[Zipit28]

Wow what a light!

[xxenkixx]

so did it land on ground or something?

[Outrack]

@xxenkixx - They haven't been able to locate it, so there are theories that it either disintegrated in the blast or landed somewhere in Botswana.

[shaochiavang]

its prob. gon be like 1in-1ft wide for the meteor rock

[hisofia]

more impressed byt the font changing coor

[iko851205]

dajjal is down man..

[BLUExMASS]

Way cool

[TheBufer1936]

Fuck that shit man! It's cool but imagine if the meteor were bigger what would happened?! :/

[Dynamik5]

I wish meteors in the sky was a natural part of our atmosphere, that would be sick.

[AndrewBroxton]

to Dynamik5: wait.... what?!?

[BJNelson262]

@AndrewBroxton are you slow? He said he wishes meteors were part of our natural atmosphere, as in they were all over the sky, all the time. Duh?

[beencarl]

Why in Gauteng of all places? There must be a conspiracy behind this but not 2012!

[TheGreatSparky]

No conspiracy, just a piece of rock becoming incandescent plasma.

[velthon]

2012!!!!!!!!!!!

[josekh89]

Si asi pasan de cerca imaginense cuando impacte uno con la Tierra...

[TheSvet91]

impresionante.... 2012? cera cierto o rumores

[longanina]

c'est impressionnant

[Mekbuda01]

Hey IIIRotor, meteors and asteroids do fall on lots of places in the world - it's mainly in the USofA that people freak out and think it's aliens.

[HellbentBabe]

thats crazy. i fear that kind of stuff and i had a bad dream of meteors coming to earth that same night.

[Richardgwm]

That was no meteor. That was an alien invasion. I saw District 9.

[zaraznikovas]

lol

[Damythxful]

District was not about alien invasion.

[t0ny2690]

Wow that was bright!!!

[gumdokim]

Their was one in Utah last week.

[sergeantfan]

this is amazing!

[darkon4431]

as we say in french :

c'est un signe des temps

yes brothers

time have come

[Outrack]

@Fathom1977 - Read the description.

[luvlife347]

He cannot read. Only can look at the pictures...LOL

[vanished001]

@Outrack Cool vid mate ... @Fathom1977, well if you never heard about it .. it couldn't have happened right. Bit like a tree falling in the woods and nobody around to hear it does it make a sound.

[IIIRotor]

why would you guess that... We all know meteors and astoids can only fall on the USA, wich kinda begs the question then, this must not have been a meteor....what is it and what is it doing on the wrong side of the planet... :)

[TheZackarios]

What I have noticed over the last year or two is that there seems to be have been a considerable amount of meteors skidding past the earth rigt now, and there have beena lot of vdeos like this one showing this is happening. It is something to think about, not saying you should go formualte a conpiracy theory or anything, just saying.

[MSProductions2009]

Meteor strikes are fairly random events. It makes sense for there to be fluctuations and periods of high activity.

[jiggymafis]

You will get periods where there are more asteroids and meteorites knocking about than other times. As we move through space so do these rocks.

We are bound to bump into a few along the way. I think more are getting filmed because of the increase in CCTV and the fact that every phone has a camera on it.

[pinkpolorules]

2012!

[MSProductions2009]

I love conspiracy theorists. No wonder governments of the world like to keep things secret. Jackass conspiracy theorists love nothing more than to pick past the obvious and most sensible explanation and make people see something there isn't.

This video shows a meteorite burning up in the atmosphere of the Earth. Most meteorites and space debris burn up. Some debris makes contact with the surface, but this doesn't happen often.

This video shows a meteorite burning up. No pentagon secret.

[TheZackarios]

I love people like you that pretend everything in this world is explainable without the need to pursue any further information. The way you people play down things aswell.

( In a posh English accent, like a snob) :

Oh yes, its just a metoeorite, nothing more, move along.

Whats that!?!?!?

Oh yes that, its just a giant astroid, these things tend to hit planets from time to time and completely annihilate them, nothing to worry about here, move along, no pentagon secret here!

[Em183]

no the government likes to create asteroids coming from far and wide to hit us all the time, they want to annihilate the earth they live on. It makes the absolute perfect sense.

[TheZackarios]

Sometimes its good to ask questions my friend, instead of kissing some authoritarian ass and accepting everything thats put in front of you.

[MSProductions2009]

Haha. What is there to play down? This is fairly low-brow anyway. Its a meteorite. It burned up. It made a big flash.

It didn't torch houses or kill people. It didn't even touch the ground.

Using a sense of reason it is possible to separate unremarkable events from the remarkable. I'm not stupid enough to put my full trust in my government, but neither am I stupid enough to link every freak act of nature in with some 'obvious and underlying government conspiracy.'

[MSProductions2009]

@MSProductions2009 In this case, you seem to be struggling to separate real threat from underlying conspiracy. I'm not stupid. If a nuclear weapon were to be headed for my location I would be more concerned with getting out of there than asking it questions. The same can be said for the asteroid argument.

Sometimes its good to ask questions. More often than not, what you see is what is there. Such as in this case.

Way to play on my apparent snobbery though. Low blow much.

[jmm1233]

awesome , boom

[RafaelDayLaGhetto]

wish i was der wen it happened

[ImTheMostViewed]

There was one just like this in Utah, USA LAST WEEK!!!

[asphyxiafeeling]

Good thing the Earth protected us. The Atmosphere always has our back. We should treat it the same way it treats us!

[Outrack]

@asphyxiafeeling - Well said.

[NzNexus]

last year a meteor strike across the sky in canada.. during the same month. this is shady llol

[ThePorousOnion]

UFO!! ALIENS!!

[Herbjoern]

Aliens cannot be UFO at same time, because, when we know this is alien, its DFO lol

[December2012Junkie]

Aliens are generally connected with UFOs as most people call Spaceships or Flying Saucers. Actually, an allien is something that is not human or from one's country, city, nationality etc.

[Zoklor]

Yes, they create so much friction entering the atmosphere because of the speed at which they travel. It is why the shuttle has heat shields for re-entering the atmosphere.

[Banez1991]

nicee

[BOHUNTER]

can you imagine what the Dinosaurs saw.... It would be over in a split second. Also theorized this is part of the Ice Age Melt down 10,000 yrs ago from a Meteor in OHIO area into a ice cap a mile thick! Nanodiamonds found in Ivory of Mammoth and Mastodons... Hmmmm

[elemenohpee420]

Its a sign

2012 is almost here

[SyphonFilter25]

haha I know you're joking but I'm pretty sure somebody would agree with you.

Still funny.

[Oscar847]

slowed down by 50%

once again we are saved by God's atmosphere..

[TheBigMoj]

saved by the EARTH's atmosphere.

god doesnt have an atmosphere silly!

[dianjoubert]

Wish I was there! (not underneath the thing though).

[Sanoz0r]

insane

[IIIRotor]

come to think of it... doesn't this kinda stuff only fall on America.... ;-)

[rosewellzz]

its the prawns!! ;)

[IIIRotor]

Now that was Damn close......

[motsisa]

I saw it and I didn't know what is was at the yime. I was in Arcadia, Pretoria

[Smellsliketuna234]

Can somebody recall in which diretion it had entered? I was in Nelspruit at the time and i saw a flash through my half closed blinds. Could have been lightning in the distance. Just wanted to checkout if it could have been the meteor ;)

[drewdovey]

Yep, i saw this while driving home on Rivonia Rd. I was facing roughly North and it came down at a 45 degree angle from East to West. I reckon this was the most epic thing I'v ever seen...that flash was insane

[Smellsliketuna234]

Cool thanks allot

[joshuabutler64]

that is absolutely insane...i cant believe this happened over jozi

[Esoterik87]

I saw it. It was freaking awesome. I'm worried that no one knew that there was a meteor on its way towards us though.

[GenlVoetsek]

Too small, probably the size of a soccer ball. No way South Africa could track that.

[SyphonFilter25]

the irony is amazing.

[tallend9]

I still think it should've pulled through and hit the surface ... BAM!

[GenlVoetsek]

Awesome vid son.

[Andrewque007]

My girlfriend and I was driving home when we saw this happening, Wow the sky lit up like a flair!

[Smellsliketuna234]

Must have scared the sh!t out of u guys :D

[MrJansalie]

Awesome!!! ek bly da hehe

[robrodd]

does anyone know how fast it would have been travelling when it came through the atmosphere and when it hit the ground?
