Allan at Wallan
5th October 2007, 09:16 PM
Coming home from woodworking club with a mate last
Tuesday night (9.50pm 2nd Oct) and we were in the locality
of Donnybrook Vic.
Suddenly the sky above us lit up quite brightly and faded
quickly as though someone was operating a dimmer switch.
We both remarked that it did not look like lightning as the
light had dimmed. It was as if a plane had moved over the
top of us and made a sweep of the area but there were
none to be seen.
About three minutes later a short stem of light went
hurtling to the North of us. It was orange and yellow,
did not have a tail and was not a typical shooting star.
In the next 3-4 minutes (just as we were coming into
Wallan) there were another two such lights hurtling to
the North (toward Sydney).
By this time we were contemplating stopping the car,
turning off the lights and hiding under a bush.
Radio station 3AW had numerous callers from suburbs
all around Melbourne but none from our area.
The Sun Newspaper had a very small paragraph on the
sightings next day saying it was a small meteorite.
Did anyone else share the experience?
