What is this mysterious object exploding in a loud sonic boom over Victoria, Australia.
Could it be a meteor falling to earth nearby on January 27, 2016?
The video’s time-stamp indicates it was filmed just after 8 p.m. Jan. 27.
No such close meteors have been reported on that day. It’s more probably a lense flare as argued in this comment:
Sure, a man decides to sit down while filming, and aims the camera at the sky. A few seconds later a fireball appears with weird lense flare that I haven’t seen in other fireball videos (and the flare appears before the fireball appears).
Then as it gets brighter, the camera doesn’t adjust/everything around the ball doesn’t get dark, just like in all REAL fireball videos and what cameras do when there is a lot of light onfront of them.
Then the fireball explodes and somehow the explosion travels very very quickly to the man filming , he who has not expressed any form of reaction to the events onfront of him whatsoever…
Nice try superman.
The sound in the background is from the Chelyabinsk Russian meteor explosion of 2013.
Thank you!
