- GIANT FIREBALL APPEARS OVER
AUSTRALIA'S EASTERN SEABOARD
-
- On Monday night, August 3, 1998, "hundreds of
Sydneysiders," including Australian police, saw a giant fireball, "what is
believed to be a meteorite plummeting to earth." The mysterious fireball was seen
from Woolongong and Sydney in New South Wales along the east coast as far north as
Brisbane in southeastern Queensland. Police "Substations were flooded by calls
describing 'a bright light with a black head and fiery tail' streaking through the
sky." "Residents of the Hawkesbury area confirmed the sighting" as
"what they thought was a large aircraft crashing in the area and inundated police
with emergency calls." "Pol Air, firefighters...and police ground units were
dispatched to the Ku-Ring-Gai National Park to investigate." "Sergeant Bill
Connors of Hornsby police said a number of police and emergency rescue crews" reached
the site "although their efforts were hampered by heavily wooded terrain. However,
Sergeant Connors said the Civil Aviation Safety Authority had no reports of a missing
plane." (See Australia's Daily Telegraph for August 4, 1998, "Ball of
Fire." Many thanks to Ross Dowe of Australia/New Zealand 24-Hour UFO Hotline for
