The Kouga Municipality Disaster Management team has called off the search for the possible site where a meteorite may have crashed.
The search was launched in the area around Patensie earlier on Monday morning with the police and a team from the Baviaans Nature Reserve following several reports from people who saw a bright flash and minutes later a loud bang.
Kouga Municipality spokesperson, Mfundo Sobele.
"We are hoping that someone might come across something and point us in the right direction, but for now the search is off" he said.
A possible explanation is that it could have been a Taurid meteor shower as this is an annual occurrence that typically lasts from late October into late November as the Earth passes through the debris trail left behind by Comet Encke.
