Initial Meteor Sighting Reports-
30JUL2015 JAMES STEPHENS PORT MACQUARIE 18:20 5-10 seconds E;W LONG GREEN TAIL. BRIGHTER THEN THE FULL MOON AND THE BALL OF LIGHT HALF THE SIZE OF THE FULL MOON Brighter then the current full moon A SMALLER FRAGMENT BROKE OFF, MAYBE 1/3 THE SIZE Iv seen hundreds of "shooting stars" over my life but this was something else. My initial thought was that someone had shot a fire work over head, I even braced for the explosion.

30JUL2015 I have just received the below email via my astronomy website from someone
living on the Gold Coast, Australia. Unfortunately, there is no information about what direction the daughter was looking or when she saw the object. I am emailing the list on the off chance that a re-entry has occurred today over this part of Australia. Thanks in advance. Regards, Paul Floyd. www.nightskyonline.info
"... My daughter called to tell me that she's seen a large bright object with what she described as a broken tail arcing down the sky this evening (Thurs 30th Jul). She is not at all into astronomical events so didn't know what to make of it, but she sees enough planes to know it wasn't that. She lives in Burleigh. ..."
