ORIGNAL CCTV Footage of Asteroid 2018 LA (ZLAF9B2)

Asteroid 2018 LA previously know as ZLAF9B2. Was discovered on the morning of 2 June, crashed into earth’s atmosphere at 18h44 South African time. With a size of about 2 to 5 meters and travelling at 17 km/second it produced a bright fireball and exploded 50km above the earth atmosphere over Botswana. Barend Swanepoel (my father) saw the fire ball on his way home from his neighbor (Vicus van Zyl) he contacted Vicus to go have a look on his cctv camera and there it was. The farm from where the footage was caught on film is about 300km from Botswana where the Asteroid exploded.
