Duration: 3-4 min
No of observers: 3

Location: Margaret River (Western Australia), , Australia

Shape: Fireball

Saw a fireball in distance, it approached slowly at about 200m above our house. It then passed directly overhead and dissappeared in the distance. About 15 minutes later a second did the exact same thiong following the same path.

sitting out the back after Blue Healers on Wednesday night mum and I saw a ball of light approaching from the North East, it continued to come closer and closer but only very slowly, until it passed really slowly over the house. It was at this point the next dorr neighbour who also saw the event went and fetched his binoculars although too late as the ball curved and went off to the south. By the time we went back to the rear of the house and chatted over the fence about what we saw another could be seen far of in the distance coming from the same direction, so the next door neighbour went and grabbed his binoculars again and we just waited for the object to come. It did the exact same thing as the first following the same path, but this time we were able to get a really good look at it through the binoculars. It was just that!A ball of fire, but it had black spots on it were there was nothing.
