Josphat Gakere was outside with his family as he recalls about 8:30pm on April 24th Gatuto, a sleepy suburb of the town of Kutus which rests at the foothills of Mount Kenya National Park, Kirinyaga County, Kenya when they were startled by glowing lights in the sky and then a loud noise of what they thought was a bomb exploding. Moments later they said it felt like an earthquake as the 6+ kilogram meteorite crash landed only 15 meters away from where they were outside. The family frightened from what they experienced scampered in every direction then quickly regrouped to find the cause of such dismay. Surveying the property Josphat discovered his juvenile maize plants were missing and instead there was a giant hole in place of where his crops once were. The next morning's investigation into what caused the damage led to the exciting discovery of the complete meteorite embedded about 3 feet into the ground.
