Residents around Ultimo in Sydney reported a \u2018loud boom and a brilliant flash of light\u2019 when a meteor crossed the night\u2019s sky on April 5, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dozens of people were left a little starstruck when a large meteor rocketed across the Sydney skyline on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Residents in Shellharbour, south of Sydney, all the way north to Newcastle, in the state’s north, reported seeing a ball of light bolt across the sky about 6.30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nikki Jackson wrote on the Australian Meteor Reports Facebook page she saw the “more blue than green” light near Maroubra, while Liasa Javs was in Darlinghurst when she caught a glimpse of the “incredible” moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It was traveling east to west at super speed. It had a beautiful long bright blue tail. It split in two and then vanished. I\u2019ve spent the last hour researching fireballs and now I\u2019m completely hooked,” Ms Javs wrote on Facebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
