Mysterious Melbourne Meteor: Boom, Earthquake, and Comet Streak Across the Sky

Social media users in Melbourne went into a frenzy after witnessing what appeared to be a comet streaking across the sky. Many claimed to have felt the ground shake shortly after. Geoscience Australia received reports of movement and identified seismic signals near north-west Melbourne, but with insufficient data for publication. Speculation arose about whether the seismic activity was related to the "comet" sighting. Last year, a similar event occurred when a huge meteor dazzled onlookers, leading to mistaken UFO sightings.
