did anyone just see that 'thing' shoot across the Brisbane sky???
it looked like some kind of firework going horizontal but angled slightly down, almost like a rocket or a meteorite or something? wtf was it? maybe it was a UFO?! |

hopefully someone somehwere captured it, it was pretty awesome.
i'm listening for sirens also, as it would have done some damage when/if it landed. |

Apparently it can be deceptive how close meteors are. My grandma saw one once and she said it looked like it was about as high as a plane about to land, and could feel the heat generated by it on her face but it landed hundreds of kilometeres away.

i didnt see it either :( was playing oblivion :P
a lot of meteors leave green tails it has something to do with the ionisation of atomic oxygen at high altitudes behind a very very fast moving meteor. possibly it was a fragment or tail particle of a comet... comet schwassmann-wachmann 3 is rapidly breaking up & on it's closest approach to earth right now... but that is 10million kilometers so perhaps not. :P |

Greeness could be refraction caused by the earth's atmosphere.

hmmm must be true, when i was a kid we were on holidays in Naples and i specifically remember one of these things as well where it was going across the sky and i thought i could feel the heat of it ...
i say specifically cause it happened to be at a time when i stepped into dog poop and got smacked by my mother cause she reckoned i did it on purpose when in fact i was distracted by the ufo/meteorite/skylab or whatever it was |
