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.
