Meteor explodes in fireball and sonic boom over Australia

Опис:

A bright meteor lit up the night sky over Victoria, Australia, on Sunday, producing a loud sonic boom that rattled homes in Ballarat and Bendigo. Experts believe fragments likely reached the ground, with a possible fall site northeast of Maryborough. The event, unrelated to the Perseids meteor shower, was confirmed by astronomers to be a meteor rather than space debris, the Independent has reported.
