I was observing about a week ago in Kangaroo Valley, looking south (in one of my ongoing searches for the SCP, but that's another story), when a light lit up the yard around me. I thought is was a neighbours car lights, so I looked around and saw a meteorite which was initially burning orange/yellow, but then blue/green before disintegrating. It was spectacular, lasting about 2-3 seconds, and obviously very close.
I've only ever seen a similar thing once before - driving past Lake George outside the ACT. It was about 1 am, and Lake George is a spooky place even by day - but out over the dry lake-bed, I saw a shower of meteorites burn up. Beautiful, but one of those slightly unnerving experiences where you dont really know what you've seen until you sit and think about it.
