To: ufosnw@rt66.com Subject: giant flaming meteorite Date: Sat, 27 Dec 1997 22:29:47 No-one believes that on a tuesday night in august 1997 while driving less than hour north of brisbane, I saw a flaming object( as large in appearance in the sky as the moon) falling not very quickly as it moved from a ten o'clock position to my left at about a 45 degree inclination, to a two o'clock position at about 20 degrees from the ground and out of sight behind a pine forest beside the road, in about 20 seconds. The object appeared to be very close, within a few kilometeres, for the flames were very clear and threw flares as the red hot ball was spinning. It looked as though the huge object would have hit the ground intact before reaching the ocean a few kilometres in the direction it seemed to be travelling. I was sure that there would be extensive news coverage of such a spectacular ball of flames crashing to Earth but have heard nothing of the event. What did I see? Is this sort of thing unusual? Has anyone found this meteorite or whatever it was?Am I the only witness? |
