All that we saw was a bright flash in the sky, but from where we were it was thought to be some lightning, a few matess rocked up and told us that they saw it and it had a tail and all. Unfortunately I got zero shots even though I had the camera around my neck, takng pics at a 50th b'day!!!

Cheers

Reminded me of ”War of the Worlds” when I saw the amateur video footage

Just had a "smaller" similar one right across Metro Adelaide. (Dec 5th 9:50 pm).
I was taking some shots of the moon and saw a good 4 seconds of it! Very freaky! And of course no pics as I had just popped an 8 second time exposure! Aghhh.

It did however leave a smoke trail in the sky for a good 30 seconds afterwards.
It went from East to west and a very sharp angle to the ground.

Driving down to Brissie a couple of years ago before dawn I saw a massive fireball andc watched it for quite a while as it streaked across the sky. I thought it went down north of Brissie but I learnt later that it landed in northern Victoria somewhere, that was how big and close it appeared.

Damn i thought it was Darb's mate tarring up the sky like they do the beach. Well some lucky person got it on tape and well would have made a killing on it.
Sorry Darb couldn't help myself.
