Hundreds of Australians spotted a 'giant fireball' shooting across the sky on Thursday morning, as a meteor travelled across the country.
The meteor's bright flash sparked numerous calls to 2GB's Ben Fordham, as listeners reported the sighting and sought answers about what it could be.
Brad Tucker, a space expert from the Australian National University, confirmed that the sighting was likely a meteor.
'It sounds like a meteor based on what everyone is saying, due to the fast nature of it - meteors move across the sky in seconds, if that,' he told Fordham.
'A couple of people noticed the green tinge, and that's the biggest clue because these meteors, which are basically broken-off asteroids, burn a greenish-blue color due to the iron-nickel in them.'

This video shows a bright bolide recorded on October 6, at 5:36 local time (equivalent to 3:36 universal time). The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from a comet that hit the atmosphere at about 90,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the provinces of Granada and Murcia (Spain). It began at an altitude of about 105 km over the locality of Puebla de Don Fadrique (province of Granada), moved northeast, and ended at a height of around 70 km over the locality of Barranda (province of Murcia).
This bright meteor was recorded in the framework of the SMART project, operated by the Southwestern Europe Meteor Network (SWEMN) from the meteor-observing stations located at Huelva, La Hita (Toledo), Calar Alto, Sierra Nevada, La Sagra (Granada), and Sevilla. The event has been analyzed by the principal investigator of the SMART project: Dr. Jose M. Madiedo, from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC). Its code in the SWEMN database is: SWEMN20241006_033636.

To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted so as to be most useful, I should answer, 'by restraining it to true facts and sound principles only.' Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more completely deprive the nation of its benefits, than is done by its abandoned prostitution to falsehood. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. I will add that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false.
