Remarks When it hit the ground, a large area lit up like stadium lights. It was already dark outside, so it lit a big area around it up.. kind of milky, but blue-ish bright. Almost like a soft fluorescent bright light. I thought the area is going to burn or burst out in flames, but nothing i could see happened and no flames or bushes burning. Quite an open flat area close to old bronkhorstpruit road. RSA (Donkerhoek, Pretoria)
