Nothing man made could of flewn through the sky like this object

I arrived home from work and was sitting out the back waiting for my wife to arrive home from work.

(Leeton is in the country where the skies are usually Crystal Clear, which it was this night. You can see aircraft from along way off sitting in the sky of which they look as if they are not moving. You can also see satellites moving slowly between the stars).

I was trying to spot a satellite when I saw a circular object the size of a meteorite moving (at the height and speed of a meteorite, but with no tail, which meteorites usually have) from right to left across the sky. Towards the direction of where the sun had set earlier.

The objects brightness increased and then suddenly it changed direction 180 degrees, near instantly and accelerated away, which the light of the object decreased and then disappeared.

There was reports the next day to the local radio station of people seeing weird lights that night in the sky.
