A meteor caused widespread awe across Australia as people across the state of Victoria captured it falling to earth.
Onlookers were left stunned when a bright object appeared to fall from the sky and hit the ground with a bang on Sunday (10 August).
Footage from CCTV and dashcams shows the glowing object lighting up the nighttime sky, shocking onlookers.
Scientists later confirmed that the flash was indeed a meteor, and the bang could have been a sonic boom – a loud noise created when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound.
