Did You See The Meteor Over Melbourne Last Night? Twitter Did [Video!]


There must have been some eager stargazers out tonight in Melbourne and parts of Sydney! A bright meteorite with a long tail reportedly streaked across the sky at 9:45pm AEST. Did you see it? Update: now with awesome video!

Update 2:

Sydney Observatory says the meteor was actually space junk.

Matt Kearsley on Twitter saw it, and snapped a photo!

Here’s another:


Others also report seeing it, but no more photos as yet.


Put a link to your pic in the comments if you saw it!

Of course, it’s nowhere near as dramatic as what Townsville residents saw the other week.

More photos as we get them!

Here’s a live feed of the #meteor chat, which is now Trending in Sydney and Melbourne.
