A huge explosion and shower of debris sparks a theory that this event could be a meteorite dropping fireball. Here’s an excerpt from an article published in the Geelong Advertiser.
The report also states that a resident in the area said “..it sounded like a rock had been thrown at their kitchen window…”
“…David Van Vledder believes some type of debris burnt up in the atmosphere, causing sparks in shades of green and the noise.
“I thought straight away something has come in from space, I thought it was a meteorite or something like that,” Mr Van Vledder said.

“It was definitely something coming in, it came down on the angle.
“You could say it was like a flare coming down but a flare just floats down, this thing was barrelling until it disintegrated and it had a tail.”
Mr Van Vledder saw the spectacle from his lounge room window, which overlooks Highton.
Residents reported hearing an explosion about 8.30pm last Tuesday.
The noise drew people from their houses. Highton and Belmont fire brigade units responded to a call-out but were unable to find a source for the blast.
The big bang followed similar reports of a boom at Grovedale between 10pm and 11pm on April 30…”
