“It sounds like it was actually a meteor not something like spacejunk or we’ve had a couple airplanes causing air trails during the afternoon over the last couple of weeks.
“From the green tinge it definitely sounds like it was a meteorite,” Matt Woods from the Perth Observatory told 6PR Breakfast.

“I thought it was Armageddon,” Dom told Steve and Baz.

While 6PR News Director Lisa Barnes says it was “so amazing to see”.

I interrupt my morning run to say HOLY HELL DID ANYONE ELSE JUST SEE THAT BRIGHT LIGHT?! Was heading SW and it streaked across the sky for a short moment before ‘falling’. Awesome to see.
