A meteorite the size of a house would make a huge crater.

What, no pics?

a meteor the size of a house hits down, a News team reports it, and NO ONE GETS A FREAKING PICTURE!!!

I think we may bave a bit of BS on our hands.

a meteorite of that size would make a crater approximately 3 kilometers in diameter. wow! i would suspect one would not miss that crater.... well the size of the crater also depends on the velocity and angle of the "meteorite" when it hit the ground.

I also got the same news in my email this morning.....

There are several links attached here to check out.


Meteorite Sighted in New South Wales

June 17, 2004

A METEORITE reportedly the size of a house fell on the NSW south coast
overnight, exploding in a bright flash, police said today.

A driver on the Hume Highway shortly after 9pm (AEST) near Menangle reported
an object the size of a house falling from the sky.

The object fell east of the Hume Highway, possibly in an escarpment near the
top of a hill at Bulli, police were told.

The meteorite was described as glowing silver in colour and similar to an
artillery shell when it exploded with a bright flash on impact.

Workers at the Sydney Airport Tower said they saw a meteorite about 9pm,
police said.

No other reports were received by police and extensive police patrols of the
area did not turn up the space debris.
