HUNDREDS of Queenslanders have reported seeing “a flash of light” in the sky, following by a “tremor”.
Police received multiple calls from residents in the Gladstone area reporting their houses shaking in what was initially believed to be an earthquake.
But Geoscience Australia has since officially ruled out an earthquake.
There were reports as far south as the Sunshine Coast, with one Nambour man saying he heard a loud noise and a flash of light just before 8.30pm.
Lanky Jones said the light was very bright and it appeared as though an object was burning up in the sky.
“It sounded a lot like a sonic boom, which would make sense if something was travelling too fast into the atmosphere,” he said.
“I don’t know what what it was, whether a meteorite or piece of space junk, I didn’t feel the tremor but the sound suggests something came down to earth.
“It’s definitely not something you see every day.” HaTTiP
