A country police officer has won the race to recover a meteorite that lit up the skies over southern Western Australia.
It is believed the astronomical anomaly dubbed the Mother's Day meteorite entered the atmosphere over the Central Wheatbelt about 6am on May 11, travelling south.
A team of scientists from Curtin University's Desert Fireball Network (DFN), who track meteors across Australia, mapped its trajectory, estimating the impact point just south of the Breakaways, 460 kilometres east of Perth in the state's Goldfields.
DFN director Eleanor Sansom and her team were in the sky over the crash site when the discovery was made.
A bright light that lit up the sky over parts of Western Australia was most likely from a small meteor, according to experts.
Many early risers from Perth to the Goldfields took to social media on Sunday morning to report seeing a "fireball" tear through the sky just before 6am.
The appearance of the light was recorded by surveillance cameras operated by the Perth Observatory.
"It looks like it may have entered the atmosphere over the Central Wheatbelt heading from the north to the south around 5:57 am," the observatory's Matthew Woods said.
"It's most likely an iron meteor that's been orbiting within the inner Solar System."
Mr Woods said said the meteor would have heated up because of the friction caused when it came through the atmosphere.
