The meteor appeared in the sky above Western Australia just after 5am.
Early risers spotted the meteor at 5:03am and it lasted about 15 seconds as it travelled from east to west.
Planet astronomer Dr Hadrien Devillepoix dismissed claims it was space junk and said it was a natural object that entered the atmosphere.
"People would have had a really good show of it," he said.
"It was a very shallow entry, so a very slow, long fireball — basically crossing the entire Wheatbelt."
