An expert got baffled of a video that shows a bright ball of light flying across the sky. Taken in the northern suburbs, the video shows a bright object that drifts through the sunset. The UFO appears to have a thick and short tail. Its look makes an expert to rule out the possibility of a meteorite. Others thought the thing could have been space junk re-entering furiously.
Forty-year-old Quentin Theron said his two children Kylie (14), and Georgia (8) were in the pool at their home in Coconut Grove when they yelled out they could observe a shooting star around 6 pm on Monday.
Quentin wondered why there was a shooting star early in the night, and it was brighter than a shooting star. Quentin’s son said it was a meteorite, but it could also be a satellite. He, however, could not decide what the object was.
Astronomer Geoff Carr said he was also baffled by the photo of that aerial stuff. He can only think of a high altitude military jet with an afterburner. He cannot also rule out a piece of space junk re-entering the atmosphere of Earth.
Mr Carr also opened up the possibility of an Iridium Flare, a large communication satellite in a cube shape. But as an astronomer for 20 years and owner of Star Safaris business, Mr Carr doesn’t think it is of alien origin though it’s unidentified flying and an object. Other than that, Mr Carr has no idea of the interesting piece of footage.
