Ha, I saw it...

http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=24503

The only reason I was outside is that some kid had water bombed our front door and like a good father I went out to fight them...lucky for them they were good at running "I'll tell ya".

Anyway as I was outside the meteor streaked overhead

It was "spectacular"

I missed out because the disgusting seeing conditions had me packing up in frustration, otherwise I would've stayed out.

What a shame Eric I guess it's hit and miss when a meteor appears.

I have started another thread with some information on Fireball Meteors including a couple of images of such a meteor
