Green fireball over Perth

10:45pm, heading south-east, bright green and appeared to be breaking up. Spotted from my car while driving on the Roe Highway towards the Tonkin crossover.

Did anybody else see this or was I hallucinating after too long a day and 600km of driving?

I saw one like that a few years back, spectacular and wondered the same thing - did anyone else see it? DID it make the local radio or newspaper over there?

Nothing so far that I've seen anyway. It was like milk: past you're eyes before you see it. (Old and bad pun - sorry!)

As Houghy has said, I too saw one about twelve months ago, and it was huge and just exploded.

Been into Astronomy a long time and that was my first

Yet to see a green one but crikey fingers crossed!

Seen two in the past 6 months, both Red. Both absolutely incredible moments.

Exciting report Mikey
