Hi Lewis,
When driving back on a Sunday afternoon from the South Pacific Star Party
several years back, Mai and I witnessed a bright bolide as we passed through the
area of Galston in Sydney's north-west.
Later when talking to Mark Suching, who lives only a few km from us,
he too was making his way back from the star party and said he witnessed it too.
Given how bright it was at 4pm, heaven's knows how bright it would have
been if it had come in at night.
Several years back we drove to Nyngan to view the Leonids and it was
such as spectacular shower that we were still observing them well
after sunrise. One left a vapour trail that morning that hung there for
well over half an hour before it finally dissipated.
