  1. I figure it must be a plane, doesn’t look like a comet/debris/satellite to me? I saw it in Melbourne, then my GF saw it in Adelaide about 35-40 minutes later. 

    Will see if I can find a flight path that matches up.

    Edit: QFA176 Auckland to Adelaide, was chasing the sunset which gives this impressive effect.

  2. Glad I wasn’t the only person to spot this. Beautiful clear sky. I couldn’t figure out what it was.

    Quick shut the blinds and make out no one’s home, it’s that really annoying ET. He always pinches the kids bikes and never remembers to bring his phone.

  4. Just to be a nerd for a moment: Akchualy comets persist in the sky for a week or more, you can’t see them moving in real time 🤓

  5. Contrails, or condensation trails, form behind aircraft in the Southern Hemisphere under the same physical principles as the Northern Hemisphere. If you’ve been to Europe before you would’ve seen hundreds of these.

  6. I was driving and saw this was really confused about what this was. Glad to know it was a plane
