Hi all,

There was a huge meteor event over southeastern Australia tonight that was seen across both Melbourne and Sydney. Just google news search meteor and there are videos piling up online everywhere. Twitter is also alive.

Just wondering if the gurus on the list are able to check any space junk re-entry sources? At first, I thought the first video I was sent was a repost of Hayabusa re entry or something similar. Very slow and unusual breakup. Would be interested to hear other thoughts.
