Meteor Last night - amazing

Did anyone see the "meteor" last night.. approx 11:50pm moving north east directly overhead. I was in Anglesea Vic and the sight was absolutely incredible. Im not sure how long the tail was but it was visible for several seconds and covered a large portion of the sky. The head was glowing white and with a bluish green tail. I initially thought it must be space junk due to the colour. Any ideas?

I was hyped for the next hour or so! It was the colour and size of it that was astounding.

I had one of "those" nights last night when everything went wrong with tracking, lappy, USB ports playing up the list goes on etc... I had given up for the night and was really flat as it was a beautiful dark sky here when I looked up and saw that! wow
