A BLAZING fireball lit up the skies over Australia before a deafening bang rattled homes and sent social media into meltdown.
The suspected meteor was spotted just before 8pm on Sunday by Victoria residents who thought they saw a blinding flash followed by a ground-shaking boom.
One shocked witness wrote on social media: “Just saw something fall from the sky near Daylesford and a huge bang. Never felt anything like it.”
Another claimed: “Hubby saw a red light falling, followed by a loud bang! The house was shaking.”
One motorist said they “nearly shat” themselves when a red lightning bolt appeared overhead, while another joked they mistook the noise for “a wombat slamming into the gate while a heavy possum ran across the roof.”
Dashcam footage shared on X shows the meteor’s brilliant trail streaking across the Melbourne night sky around 8.30pm, flaring before breaking apart in a burst of white light.
