Flaming debris was seen blazing across the night sky in Melbourne on Monday, sparking a flurry of social media posts questioning if it was a meteor.
The Australian Space Agency said in a statement that the flashes of light were “likely” remnants of a Russian Soyuz-2 rocket re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere.
The rocket had been used to launch a satellite earlier in the evening.
