I was a passenger a car going east along Monbulk Rd just near the Silvan Reservoir dam wall at 16:41, 2 November 2025. Ahead of me a bright object appeared in the sky in front of me at about 30-35deg above the horizon disappearing behind trees at about 20-25deg above the horizon. The object had a glowing train about 7deg in length like burning phosphorous behind it and lasted for about 1-1.5 seconds. I had a very good view of the object.
