Fireball crashes to earth in Queensland
April 1, 2004 - 8:53AM
Residents of the outback town of Winton saw a flash "like 50,000 floodlights" as a huge fireball crashed to earth somewhere in central Queensland late yesterday.
Authorities are trying to track down the source of a large fireball seen in the sky over the state's north and central west.
...
"Suddenly there was this flash, it's the only way I can describe it - it was so bright it was a white flash and it lit everything up," Ms Nelms said."It was like somebody had turned on 50,000 spotlights."
"We all looked up in the sky and there was a white smoke trail coming from the north-east - like a firecracker smoke trail but it was too high to even be an aircraft."
...
"There's probably is a big hole somewhere - but had this fallen on Winton we probably wouldn't be sitting here talking about it," Ms Nelms said.- AAP
