00:00Last night, the skies over Victoria exploded with a fiery spectacle that had thousands of people staring up in disbelief.
00:08A blazing meteor ripped across the atmosphere, shaking homes and lighting up social media with wild eyewitness reports.
00:16So what exactly went down? Let's break it all down.
00:19Just before 8pm on Sunday, people from Bendigo to Ballarat, all the way to Melbourne's western suburbs,
00:26caught sight of something unforgettable. A massive fireball streaked overhead, so bright it could be mistaken for a New Year's firework show.
00:34One Melbourne local posted online, saying,
00:37It was so big and bright. Magic!
00:39She watched it from East Keeler, just outside the city. And she wasn't alone.
00:44Phones were out everywhere, capturing the meteor's wild dash across the sky.
00:49In Taylor's Lake, someone caught it on camera.
00:51Slow motion shows the meteor's glowing tail, almost like a comet burning up on re-entry.
00:58Another witness said,
00:59Thought it was a firework at first.
01:01A neighbour replied,
01:03Saw it out of our window. Same thought.
01:05Social feeds quickly filled with clips, comments and pure excitement.
01:09But it wasn't just about what people saw.
01:12It was what they felt.
01:13Residents in Bendigo and Ballarat reported a thunderous sonic boom.
01:17The rumble actually shook homes, setting off car alarms and rattling windows.
01:22One person wrote,
01:24Shook the whole house.
01:25Another added,
01:26Felt like an explosion.
01:28Even local seismographs picked up the shockwave.
01:31So what was this thing?
01:33Experts say it was a meteor, maybe the size of a basketball,
01:36racing through the sky at thousands of kilometres an hour.
01:39However, when it hit Earth's atmosphere, the friction caused it to ignite,
01:44creating that epic fireball and the booming shockwave.
01:48From awe to adrenaline, Victorians witnessed a rare celestial event
01:52that literally lit up the night and shook the ground.
