On Thursday night, a spectacular fireball lit up the sky across Australia's east coast, particularly over Sydney and the New South Wales (NSW) Central Coast. The bright blue ball of light was reported by hundreds of witnesses, who described it as a meteor or meteorite. The phenomenon was so striking that it was visible as far inland as Mudgee, a town in the Central Tablelands of NSW, and Canberra, the capital city of Australia. Observers noted the fireball's distinctive blue hue and the smoke trail it left behind as it shot across the sky. One notable sighting was captured on video by a golfer at Sydney's Northern Beaches, who was filming his swing when the fireball appeared. The event sparked a flurry of activity on social media, with many users sharing their own sightings and videos of the fireball. The incident has drawn attention from various media outlets, including inquiries made to the NSW Police for further details about the phenomenon.
