At about 1820hrs saloon time on the 16 May 2006, a considerable tome of household circulated over Queensland, the Northern Rest and northern New South Wales reported odd lights in the sky.SIGHTINGS:The website of UFO Look at Queensland at http://www.uforq.asn.au/sightings/sightings2006.html recorded the supporter four sightings:1. Hervey Bay. "I control cube sighted whatever thing most odd. Ten minutes ago at about 6.20pm my mum and I looked up from our verandah and saw a bright light looking fondness a gunfire star, but it was low to the ground and appeared to be breaking up. It lit up the verandah, was bright blue/green and motivated east to west, towards Torbanlea. We didn't assume any telephone call."2. Marburg. "Sighted a blue/green shine late at night clouds in the northern sky better Marburg, Queensland. It looked fondness lightning pleasantly, but blue-green in colour. Later a fireball I use sped/fired principal in facade of the clouds running away a wash drive as it headed towards the hills late at night our hilltop house. I was thug up the hill in a northerly path. The fireball went in a north-west path towards the ground. I was horrified at the clarity and colour."3. Beam of light Seaboard. "Delight very tricky about the heaviness of a helicopter, elevating east to west and blue/orange/yellow. I was trophy north on the Bruce Way, in disclose the Beerwah, Landsborough Window Stay Mountains area. Unbelievable."4. South-east Queensland. "On Tuesday 16 May 2006 at about 6.30pm our call up contact tome was lock up up for about 40 minutes by household reporting a considerable, bright basic object elevating east to west at about 6.20pm. We exceedingly established reports via the Internet and a from a instance residing in northern New South Wales."The sightings were ended by household placed on a north-south line on both sides of from about Ballina to Hervey Bay, a intermission of about 375 kilometres, and a line west from Brisbane to about Gatton, about 100km. The witnesses were looking to the north or the south (Hervey bay) at an object elevating east to west, so it prerequisite control been at an steamroll of the chronicle of 50km. The natural life of the sightings was up to 5 seconds, and sparks came off the object and tended to be departed late at night. These details are set as well as a inn of space turn down or a meteorite piquant up in our integrity."The website of the Australian UFO Look at Means at http://www.auforn carried the supporter even more report.5. Strathpine, Brisbane, Queensland. " They were travelling north when they saw a very bright light, travel east to west. It was about 60 degrees from the horizon and it travelled very hastily, and was "very slick," It about looked fondness fireworks being shot directly horizontally, but it didn't explode. It cube passed on."A record of the Victorian UFO Look at Society's website and that of UFO Look at NSW failed to find any even more reports, which assists find the geographic area of witnesses.STEPHEN HUGHES:Stephen Hughes of the Queensland Institution of Machinery has cube published a arithmetical paper about this meeting, titled "Original fireballs and bead lightning" in Measures of the Territory Background A. I placed the paper's rob at the society's website at http://rspa.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/early/2010/11/26/rspa.2010.0409.robABSTRACT:"This paper presents evidence of an lucid connection in the midst of bead lightning and a basic fireball. On the evening of 16 May 2010 at lowest possible three fireballs were seen by plentiful household in the skies of Queensland, Australia."One of the fireballs was seen fleeting over the Swell up Field about 120km west of Brisbane, and in a minute after, a shining basic bead about 30cm in diameter was seen loud down the grade of the Swell up Field."A scrupulous natural history was approved by a remark indicates that the phenomenon was most probably a perfectly shining form of bead lightning."A theory to be had in the paper is that the card of the Queensland fireball shaped an electrically conductive choice in the midst of the ionosphere and ground, escape capability for the bead lightning phenomenon."A strong match is noted in the midst of the Queensland fireball and the Pasmonte fireball seen in New Mexico in 1933. Apiece meteors exhibited a buckle in the tail that could be explained by hydrodynamic armed. The attempt that multiple sightings of fireballs on both sides of southeast Queensland were formed suitable to waste from comet 73P Schwassmann-Wachmann is discussed."MY COMMENTS:Opening, for senior information on the Pasmonte fireball report http://epswww.unm.edu/meteoritemuseum/virtualtour/world.htmSecondly, all in all, a elegant inn of research by Stephen Hughes. I am now looking to entrance a copy of the well-to-do paper.
