Daytime Meteor

As the Resident Astronomer in NE Arnhemland (NT) I get to hear most of the reports of things unusual in the sky.
This one was a first though !
Yesterday afternoon, just BEFORE sunset a bright White Meteor was reported to me streaking accross the sky for a few seconds, obviously very bright to be seen while the sun was (just) still up.
By it's bright white appearance, I presume it was a bit of space junk ?
Anyone else see this ?
