DOGS, cats and night-owls were startled by the loud roar of a meteor tearing through the atmosphere on Saturday morning.
Falling at around 2.45am, the meteor caused a sonic boom which lightly rattled the earth and was followed by a chorus of dogs howling at the late-night disturbance.
Commenters on Facebook fell into two camps; those who felt and heard the event, and those who slept right through it.
