'House-sized' meteorite hits Australian east coast

A Meteorite the size of a house fell near the south eastern coast of Australia, exploding in a bright flash, police have said.
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 meteorite was described as glowing silver in colour when it exploded with a bright flash on impact.
Workers at the Sydney Airport Tower said they saw a meteorite about 9pm, police said.
'Extensive police patrols' of the area for more than an hour did not turn up the space debris. 'We didn't find anything - there was no bloody great rock sitting in the middle of the highway, anyway'.
