| Name | Johanna S |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I did not observe this fireball directly, but captured the light plus flash on my security camera. It was bright enough to trigger my camera, and you can see the shadows created by the light moving on the road. There is a BOOM about 10 seconds after the flash, but it sounds like a crackling noise on these cameras. This fireball was filmed by multiple people in Sydney and the Central Coast and featured in at least one media report. |
