A ‘fireball’ meteor has lit up the skies and caused a clap of thunder over southern Australia. Residents from Tasmania and Victoria shared footage of the object that flew across the horizon just before 8.30pm Saturday AEST (11.30am BST).   Video shows the night sky lit up by a bright light as the meteor passes overhead with a tail trailing behind, and lasting only a few seconds.
