A friend and I were fortunate to see the fireball over Perth around 2005.
As we stood out the front we witnessed it rage across the sky looking bigger than a city block heading north over the swan river shooting sparks and making the sound like those sparklers you buy for fireworks nights but hundred times louder.
I'll never forget that night, ... heres video
