Friday evening at about 10.45pm a group of us Ian(photon) and Simon(?) and myself were packing up after our first observational night with and Adult Ed Class we are running in Launceston and a magnificent fireball streaked accross the sky from West to East and broke up into two visible fragments before it burnt out.
Usually you blink and they are gone but once spotted the others had time to turn and see as well. It was a pity the class had all gone home.
We have two more obs nights for the class in the next two weeks so we might be lucky and see some more.
anyway at least the warmer weather has brought us out of hibernation
No noticable colours. Just very very bright and long in duration. Does that indicate that it got down a fair way before burning out I wonder? I suppose thats logical. It seemed rather low in sky heading East.
Iwas was with Mike when we saw the meteor split in 2, I,ve never seen anything like it. I thought It was orange in colour. how big would a meteor have to be to be able to split into two bits?
there was no meteor, news have not reported it. i check the sites and theres nuffin in the sky, u eyes got an UFO thats all and the UFO got split into three not damn faggot two, blindlers!
Meteor broke into two!
