This arvo at sport for school, around 3pm, i saw some flashing light in the sky at the west. It lasted around 1-2 seconds. It incredibley seems a explosion in the sky, i was shocked but i didn't tell anyone because i knew they will panic about it. I am sure it wasn't a plane or bird. I am seriously saw that happened.
I checked the satellite website, flares affected in new zealand and the satellite located at South America atm. I check the Ballina airport, no planes around 3pm.
I would say high altitude aircraft. When the body of the plane or wing catches the sun it can appear like a flash. Most often than not because of atmospheric conditions and angle of sun the plane would not be visible.
Do you actually know what a supernova is Matt? I think a title change is needed.
Hey Andrew, same thing as i said the plane flights around 3pm were not here at all. We are in the middle of clear area without of flares, planes and other object etc.
I think i saw a supernova!
