Eastern Cape residents are abuzz after reporting sightings of what they call a "METEORITE" crossing the skies earlier on Sunday.

Residents of several towns which include Gqeberha, St. Francis Bay, areas in the Langkloof, and as far as Sedgefield reported that the sighting was accompanied by bright lights and loud thundering noises which rattled the ground beneath their feet.

In the Langkloof, reports were received of a possible earthquake that woke residents in the middle of the night.

Local weather expert, Garth Sampson – also known as Weather Guru - however confirmed that there are NO reports of earthquakes anywhere near the region.

According to Sampson, the reported "earthquake" was more than likely the sighted meteorite.

Algoa FM's FB page was also buzzing with comments from residents across the region.
