Hi Peter,

Coincidentally at 20:58 tonight Mai spotted what she thought was a meteor
with a red glow from our locale here in Sydney. It was in our southern skies
heading west to south-west, Given you are in Brisbane and the timing was 12 minutes
earlier, it will not be the same object, but, for example, perhaps it is associated
with the Piscis Austrinid meteor shower which starts around this time of the
year. However, you mentioned your object looked like a satellite so I gather
what you spotted was moving too slowly for a meteor. Couldn't spot any
satellite launches that may have taken place with the thought it might
have been associated with staging.
