[Kevnool (Kev)]

[Ric]

Yep, that would have been a beauty to see.

[Ian Robinson]

The news missed it.... not a mention.

Was it heading inland or out to sea do you reckon ?

[war bird]

I couldnt say Ian but it was bloody cool .

I saw a similar object in the east from Frankston, about 45degrees, dropping straight down and away from me at about 11am, visible for 4 seconds, just fluked it as I was looking at a cloud in the distance forming a cap. had the Binos with me so can confirm that it was not an aircraft. Wasnt an Iridium flare either, seen one in daylight before, they just flash, dont fall down.

It lasted for 1 minute? Surely that is far too long for a fireball. It wasn't a distant plane with contrails being lit by the low Sun was it?

[war bird]

well it seemed like a minute,but im sure it wasnt quite that long.wasnt a plane, I still think it was something burning up i our atmosphere.
