I had a similar experience in Novemeber 2004 observing from Kalkallo just 40 kms North of Melbourne..I think it was around midnight when I noticed an orange glow from the corner of my eye..I turned and within seconds it grew bigger and brighter..then gone!!!..no noise or tell-tail stream or trail...I can only assume it might have been a meteor coming straight towards me!!...It gave me the shivers for a while afterwards...but..that's the only thing I can think of!!!
Cheers!
