Garry Youngberry, the trusted weather presenter for 9News Queensland, is known for his accurate reports on the weather, including cyclones, floods, droughts, and afternoon storms. However, tonight, something extraordinary happened in Brisbane’s sky that even Youngberry missed.

It wasn’t until later that the newsroom noticed the falling space rock.
