Did anyone else see a large green/white ball of light head roughly west to east at around 8:45 pm tonight? No tail and moving 'relatively' slowly. It lasted for about three seconds before disappearing from my field of view.
Yes I went outside to look at Jupiter and just as I opened the door and looked up, I saw a bright green flash, then I actually came inside and told my wife, kids must be setting of fireworks
Thanks Simon - I was in the car at the time and thought that I might have been seeing things! Certainly the biggest, and one of the nicest, I have seen. Nothing about it in the news though.
The meteor dashcam footage was on the ABC news and I saw it being promoted on at least one of the commercial news telecasts as well.
Would have been quite an spectacular sight, one day I might see one up here.
I womder how many go un noticed and unreported.
I saw one a couple of months ago ( once I would have recored details in a journal but for some reason dont keep yhat sort of journal now ☺) to the E / SE ..I had my back to it and noticed my shadow on the lappy table..I thought it was a car coming up the drive so it must habe been very bright...I turned and it was a beauty ..so maybe half a second before I turned and half a second visual..hard to tell from the you tube vid but seemed same height and mine would be not quite as bright ...It was probably 2 am but not sure but late...I did not report it or mention it and I dont know that it made the news...and last month saw one just above the horizon, again very late, and I thought it would have been East of Brisbane...
I wonder if weather sats pick them up...my point I suppose is do we really have any idea how many are about...I mean I saw two whoppers that apparently went un noticed...
Are dash cams and old men up late all we have got?
Alex
we do have lots of fun and many more clear nights than you guys. 
I also hadn't seen or heard anything in the news
