Hobart, Tasmania, Australia Meteor 4SEP2011

Hobart, Tasmania, Australia Meteor ~10:45 pm local 4SEP2011 
time 10:45pm local time-
I just saw a HUGE and slow moving meteor/fireball overhead from hobart looking south, it was travelling northbound and looked pretty close and burning green/yellow. amazing. magnitude was great - almost as bright as the moon
SIZE = all up (without tail it was about 5 times the size of venus. three times the size of venus in the middle of its head (the brightest part which was white/yellow), and a greeny glow surrounded the rest and this outer part had a triangle/arrowhead shape. the tail wasnt very long at all compared with the common 'white line' meteors i have seen. absolutely amazing. -Gus
