{{Residents of Kibaraa in Kuresoi are still in shock after a suspected meteoroid fell from the sky hitting a house loudly before blasting into flames. }} <\/p>\n
Jane Sitonik said she saw an object at around 7.30p.m on Thursday evening fell from the sky and hit her house. She was heading home from a nearby posho mill. She said she screamed and fell down since her three children were inside the house at the time. <\/p>\n
\u201cI fell down not knowing how to rescue my three children who were inside and the house was brought down immediately my children were outside,\u201d shocked Sitonik said Friday. She described the object as disintegrated flames having a head and a tail like a snake.<\/p>\n
Samuel arap Sitienei , a neighbour, said he heard the loud burst and screaming and his family too abandoned the evening meal to witness the rare incident which he says was like lightning. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are just sorry for what happened and fortunately no one was injured,\u201d he told The Standard. Mary Kisortich who saw the object at the end of the village also described it as a snake-like burning cloud. <\/p>\n
\u201cI thought it was a bomb and I asked God to save us,\u201d said Mary adding that the whole village, amid screams, became very bright for a short time. <\/p>\n
\u201cI thought God had come,\u201d Mary added. According to Sitonik, one child who was among three others inside the house, sustained minor injuries while being rushed outside to safety.<\/p>\n
