Hi all,

My brotherinlaw and his family witnessed a number of bright orange coloured objects in the sky over Melbourne on Friday night around 7pm and again an hour and half later. The whole family saw the first one and when he was out at 8.30pm he again witnessed three more, one after the other following the same trajectory. They live in an inner city location and he described them as being brighter than any other visible star in the sky and similar in colour to the gas fire that a hot air balloon emits. His young daughter pointed the first one out and it lasted approximately 30 - 60 seconds travelling from a southernly to north westerly direction. He had enough time to capture the first one on his mobile phone camera.

The three more were witnessed at approximately 8.30pm when he was walking to shops and these were identical to the first and spaced approximately a minute appart, all travelling in the same direction (south to north west). He said they traversed the entire visible sky, again orange in colour.

We were thinking debris from the satellite breaking up? Would this have been too early (Friday evening)? Would anyone else know what this could be or perhaps even witnessed the same thing?

Cheers Heath
