Hi Everyone
The leonids Meteor Shower was a sprinkle wasn't it hum,
But I think the best meteor was at 1.15am it came in low from
the east and then went west and left a trail across the sky from
east to west which stayed for around 40 seconds it was at cloud
level what a sight WOW Glennys Mackay can confirm this.
glenmack@thehub.com.au
We saw around 30 meteors per hour coming from all direction
Skywatch Location the Jimboomba Turf Farm great views of the
night sky no light pollution.
Okay guys there has been some flack about seeing UFO's when the
Meteor
shower was on so we had to be careful about Reports.
But - Our local Radio Station 'B105' had a few calls about a UFO
being sighted, Jamie Dun made a few comments about it Ha! a
sendup of course :>) but never the less a caller called it in.
Now for the Sighting Reports
Report 1. George Mackay glenmack@thehub.com.au

Report 3. Nemesis nemesis@fastinternet.net.au
Location: Far North QLD: Time around 4.00am 18th.11.98
Well,some interesting bits.
Saw an aircraft to the N after about 4 am. Soon after sudden
bright flash to the N, then it flashed three or more times less
brightly, and a minute or so later below horizon a flareup.
Not the plane, which I saw way off to the S soon after. Not a
meteor, Did a satellite get hit? Or knocked spinning?
