Watch: Meteor Shooting Across Brisbane, Australia Captured On Film

A meteor flying across Australia’s sky has been captured on camera in Brisbane, Queensland. This marks the latest recorded incident of a meteor whizzing over the country.

The video of the meteor that appeared over Brisbane was captured on the night of May 30. The footage, which was posted by Australia’s 7News, showed a single ball of light moving across the night sky. According to the report, the meteor soared above the city’s Mount Coot-Tha.

The incident happened just days after another stunning video of a minor meteor shower was caught in Bundaberg, Queensland. The video was captured by Tim Sayre through his car’s dashboard camera as he was driving down McCarthy Road with his wife.

In the clip, which Sayre shared through his Facebook account, the glowing meteor appeared for a split-second before disappearing. According to Sayre, a second meteor appeared hours after the first one but he was not able to capture it on film.

“We saw a second one about 9:15 pm, but didn’t have the camera with me, again around about the same location as the first,” he said according to Bundaberg Now.

Other sightings by residents from different locations were reported on the Facebook group Australian Meteor Reports.

On May 21, a meteor shower was also spotted over Australia and landed on the country’s southern cost. According to aerospace engineer Dr. Steve Chesley of NASA, the meteor was about as big as a small car when it entered Earth’s atmosphere and released energy as powerful as a small nuclear bomb before crashing into the Great Australian Bight Bay.

CCTV footage courtesy of the South Australia Police showed the meteor creating a huge light show as it exploded.

Despite its size and powerful energy, Chesley noted that the meteor was not particularly dangerous to the public. Aside from the fact that it fell into the sea, the meteor detonated in mid-air and broke into small fragments as it entered the atmosphere.

“When these things hit the atmosphere going so fast, the pressure from these hypersonic entries basically causes them to shatter and fragment,” Chesley told ABC.
