Many moons ago I recieved a call from a PN68 near Griffith in New South Wales along the lines of "Ah, Melbourne I can see a, SH!T...." Transpired he was going to report a green flare in the distance, when it suddenly got very big and zoomed directly under and relatively close to his aircraft.
That left him on descent, at night, over a dark unpopulated area, and completely dazzled to the point he had no visual reference to the ground and couldn't read his instruments.
He levelled off and flew on autopilot for a while until he got his night vision back and landed safely.
Other flights I was speaking to saw the meteor as far away as Canberra, 160nm away.
As for the biggie coming our way -
Here comes Planet Vogon!
Love the nose-ring/trotter line
