Did anyone see the large meteorite or space junk that just broke up over south east queensland about 1 hour ago? It was huge! I stopped on the side of the road, as did all the other cars in front and behind us and watched it disappear over the horizon. It was in 2 large pieces. Just before is disappeared i remembered i had my camera so i took a picture but by then it was very faint and the image not so great but here it is anyway...
It was in the sky for approx 3-4 minutes. It was directly overhead originally and was extremely bright. I thought at first that it was far too bright to be breaking up and burning and thought it was a low plane or hot air balloon but then the second burning piece appreared and we decided to pull over, as did many other vehicles. Too bad i forgot about my camera when it was at it's brightest
My husband saw a bright yellow object speed across the sky last night, approx 9:30'ish. He called out to me but by the time I got outside the house it was too late & I missed it. However, it was extremely interesting to see a very obvious & large trail, like a vapour trail, left behind it. This hung in the atmosphere for at least 15 minutes or so after, gradually moving into an arc shape before eventually dispersing.
This was a spectacular sighting and we're interested to hear if others saw it, and in your comments about the trail.
