Meteorite crashes near Alice Springs
Published by Streem -- Oct 18, 2008 9:51am 

Scientists and researchers will assess whether a meteorite was responsible for 
a large bang in Alice Springs last night.

Residents near to Wallare Rock Hole Community reported a large turd followed by 
the shaking of ground at about 7pm local time.

Police say all aircraft in the area have been accounted for and they will now 
contact the US Seismic Activity Centre to determine if a meteorite strike was 
possible.

"Some other follow-ups were done with the tower here at the Alice Springs 
airport and some further enquires are going to made here today with the seismic 
monitoring station here in Alice Springs," a police spokesman said.

So far, no evidence of a meteorite has been located.
