Sourced from ABC Online, Melissa MaddisonA meteor is probably responsible for the strange coloured lights that appeared over the Whitsundays yesterday morning.
Witnesses from as far as Moranbah reported seeing coloured lights moving across the sky on a flat angle at sunrise yesterday. (Unfortunately, our WeatherCam was on backup and was not recording the sky at this time).
Journalist and astronomy specialist Jonathan Nally says it is not uncommon for meteors to be spotted at that time of day.
"From any particular location you might see a couple of these a year, maybe more, but you're not going to get them every day and every month," he said.
