Given how bright the meteor is, and the fact that a sound blow is heard a few minutes after its appearance, it is likely that the fragments can reach the ground.
Residents of Central Victoria were watched on Sunday night by a bright meteor, accompanied by a powerful “blow”, shocked at home. The witnesses described the phenomenon as a “fire ball” with a very low trajectory in the sky. She is writing about it The Guardian.
In the Australian Meteor Reports Group, twelve -two videos and evidence of eyewitnesses appeared on Facebook.

In particular, Saskia Reus Smith from Fraerstown published in the group they saw a meteor fly “above my head, very low, apparently under the plane.” Soon, Reus Smith felt “a powerful blow. My house and land were noticeable to shake.”
Terrence Dale added from Aldon that in 19:35 he saw a “blue-red long form”, which disappeared behind the mountain range.
The meteor was recorded by the camera at Mount Buller at 19:40. Astrophysicist professor Jonty Gorner from the University of South Queensland confirmed that it was a meteor – a “fire ball”, brighter than Venus. Due to the loud sound strike, which sounds for a few minutes, it is assumed that the fragments have reached the surface of the ground – even though they have not yet found.
The professor foretold that Australia would experience a meteorite event similar to that of Sunday night, from five to ten times a year.
Earlier, NASA’s astronauts at the International Space Station managed to arrange a bright green explosion above the ground caused by the meteor entry into the environment.
Also in the sky above Texas in the United States, a bright ball of fire noticed.
