Mystery light seen above NSW

[DuctapeFatwa]

Astronomers have been busy discovering what caused a mysterious coloured light seen in the sky by many people across western New South Wales just after 6:00am (AEDT).

The light was seen by people from as far as Lightning Ridge, Gulgong, Oberon and Young.

Callers to ABC Central West and Western Plains this morning described the light as a slow moving shooting star travelling west to east, low on the horizon.

8. Sounds similar to what I saw in Kansas City in '89

The official explanation was a Russian booster re-entry (after the local AF base said they were conducting tests in the area). Only problem is it was traveling north to south and and re-entries are always in the direction of the earth's spin. Call me a kook if you want, but hundreds of people saw the same thing that night. Who knows what it really was, but it was really freakin cool looking. :D

11. Ozfolk remember Frederick Valentich.

The 20-year old pilot radiod a close encounter and disappeared without a trace over the straights between the mainland and Tasmania. Here's part of his last transmission:

Valentich: Melbourne, this is DSJ (Delta Sierra Juliet -- the code for Valentich's plane). Is there any known traffic below five thousand feet?

Melbourne: No known traffic

V: It, seems to be a large aircraft below five thousand.

M: What type of aircraft is it?

V: I cannot confirm. It is four bright, it seems to me like, landing lights ... the aircraft has just passed over me at least a thousand feet above.

12. Maybe the ultra-secret Aurora project aircraft?

There's a video clip of it floating around somewhere on the net; it looks like a giant jet of flame moving across the sky. Tax dollars at work; military's gotta harness all that UFO technology ya know.

15. What A Novel Way To Unveil It.

Kinda like the f-117 (stealth fighter). Slowly allow the people to see it for themselves until it is no longer a secret. <SARCASM> That'll show them Chinese and Indians who the boss really is. </SARCASM>

13. If I Were A Flying Saucer Pilot

If I were a flying saucer pilot interested in making contact with the dominant species on planet Earth, I wouldn't care to scout out a landing site anywhere near BushCo property.

17. sounds like a meteor that missed

Large meteor seen in broad daylight in August 1972. The
fireball is the bright spot just to the right of the cloud, in
the left center, followed by a faint trail to the right.
Later, at a closer approach, the fiery source was much
brighter, with a teardrop shape and a more visible trail.
