A Perth astronomer says a spectacular light show in the sky last night was a meteor.

Sightings were made as far south as Albany and inland through the Wheat Belt.

Peter Birch, from Astronomy West, estimates the meteor was about the size of a basketball.

Missed this one, looks like it was quite a show however. Peter Birch mentioned in the story was Nay’s astronmy lecturer at ECU. Awesome bloke!

Video of the event can be found here.
