Initially i was facing away from the object. The paddocks i front of me light up in a pulsing light green hue i could see everything. I turned around thinking it was a vechile on the road that was behind me. I saw it falling from sky in a northerly direct where it changed from green to orange yellow. My relief milker who was 30mins north driving southwards also saw it and asked about it on her arrival. Another person on farm also commented. I was unable to hear any sounds as I was on a motobike. By far the biggest event ive seen in the night sky before. And ive spent alot of hours follow cows in the dark. 😁
