Hi I just joined because I had to tell someone about what I saw tonight. I was driving home to Hervey Bay (Qld) from Maryborough and I saw what must've been a rather large meteorite enter the atmosphere. I dunno if this is big news or really kool for anyone else, but anyway...It was about 12:25 Qld time; there was a bright flash of white light, long enough for me to be worried about what it was (it seemed to be above me, I saw the edge at the top of my windscreen), then I heard like a distant boom; from that white light it flew across the sky...I've seen plenty of "shooting stars", this is what it looked like but about 15 times the size (no exagerration). This ball of orange went across the sky (but much bigger and further) and I could see little bits of white coming off it...Anyway, I've never seen anything like it. Did anyone else see it? Perchance someone fluked a video shot?
