Hi finally joined up so I could post here! My husband works in Western Australia, inland and slightly north of Port Hedland, 100ks and had seen quite a large meteor last night too, along with a few people he works with! He said the time was somewhere between 6:20 to 7Pm last night. Was traveling west to east about three times the size of a normal star, red at the front and white tail, only relatively small tail, but was still very visible. Also said he had seen it travel from horizon to horizon, was most impressed by it too! He thinks it took about 7 seconds to go across the whole horizon, as it would be uninterrupted viewing where he is, knew it was way too fast to be a satellite, apart from the tail being a giveaway!
If it was the same one, sounds similar, apparently it was most impressive, if it passed in fount of the moon would have amazing!
