The Report

Hi Mitch,

A huge (something) perhaps a meteorite exploded above the Northern Territory, Australia on Friday 18 June 1999.  Our local newspaper featured a front page story this Sunday. Locals say that it 'boomed' like an atomic bomb and that earth tremors were felt afterwards. 'It was this incredible blue and white flashing light that lit up the whole town. It was like this huge flashing police light. About four minutes later there was a series of very loud booms and then earth tremors. The whole town was running about.

"The dogs were going berserk' said Jim Butler, a local resident.. The meteorite struck at about 9.30 pm local time near to an aboriginal community called Lajamanu.

I would be interested in further information about this event, as it resembles fire balls that have been reported in Western Australia.

I live in Darwin - Northern Territory, which is about 650 km away from the site.  Let me know if you need further contact information.

Cheers
Mella M.
