Janette Sarcillo, the wife of one of the school’s security guards, later reported that she found the “space rock” that fell near the guards’ barracks.

I saw the flaming object fall from the sky. It grew bigger and bigger as it approached the ground and made a loud explosion as it landed,” she said.

A geologist of the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office will visit the NOHS campus on Monday to identify the stone.

Amaca said the fireball turned out to be a shiny black stone that is about two and a half inches thick and three inches long.

It is almost as big as my fist and looks like a meteorite,” he said.

It is very hard. If you scratch it against a sharp object, it turns white and goes back to its original colour,” he added. [Daily Express Malaysia]
