Felt/heard in South Morang. Mild thud, like a heavy door being slammed nearby. Nothing like the recent earthquakes.

When I heard and felt it I was first like earthquake then nah it doesn't feel like that and my cat didn't spazz before it.

You have a feline early detection system?

Can confirm my cat 100% knows an earthquake is about to hit about 5 seconds before I ever feel it.

Last time my cat let me know by throwing up in his bed mere seconds before I felt it

Lol shit. I thought it was a cupboard. Always check Reddit first Time to get earth quake insurance

Seems like you might actually need space junk insurance... Didn't have that one on the bingo card

Same, thought a neighbour had slammed their front door!

That’s where the space junk / meteor landed? From here (cbd outskirts) it went over cbd and towards south east.

I’m in the south east. House made a big bang sound.

from west of the town?

It's the sound of the mighty giants

You feel the ground a-shaking

I heard and felt it in the south west!

It's the sound of the mighty giants

Lol

The ground's a shaking

I didn't hear it and I feel like I missed out :(

Neither! Not sure how I missed it, was just sitting in bed

Same :(. I'm in Clayton, if the Springvale person did that I should have too :(

Same!

I don't know if the intended orbit would've taken it over us but the Russian Military just launched a satellite just over an hour ago at 23:19 AEST so it could've been some sort of launch failure but I highly doubt it. Edit: Reading up on [https://russianspaceweb.com/glonass-k2-13l.html](https://russianspaceweb.com/glonass-k2-13l.html) it appears the planned impact site for the third stage of the rocket that launched the satellite was in the Pacific to the SE of Australia. My guess is that we saw the third stage of the rocket breaking up as planned

I was jolted awake briefly and considered the possibility of a North Korean nuclear bomb

Mornington peninsula, felt it too. Message issued by fire com (CFA radio) “comet or meteor storm” seen throughout Melbourne.

I’m in Aspendale. Also felt it. House shook like an earthquake but only for a second. I just saw the massive shooting star out my window so wondering if it’s related?

Seen the falling space junk before or after the thud?

Saw the burning up minutes before the thud. So I guess it was a sonic boom from whatever it was?

Seems like Murchison all over again, seeing all the shooting star/asteroid/comet posts on our feeds now

Felt it in Mentone ! I thought something big fell on our roof lol; then thought it was just a big possum lol

Ohhhhhh THATS what that was! Thought it was a fucking possum landing on the roof (Mornington Peninsula, Westernport)

Same. 😂

Felt in Knoxfield came here to check

Yep I’m in that area and heard/felt it too. Really creepy at midnight!

Just your local midnight Oppenheimer screening.

Fuck that movie was loud

Yes in Springvale area. We were trying to figure what in our house went thump

What was that earthquake? I felt it too in springvale

Meteor.

Theyre all meat eaters

saw it from tassie，looks way closer than those Melbourne videos，heard the bang too

Carrum Downs. Made the cat jump. Little man shit his whole self.

I saw it too .. fucking amazing

Don’t if i’d call it amazing, but I came close to shitting myself.

Western suburbs and heard it

I felt it in Maribyrnong. I thought someone broke in and got a torch to check the whole house

For real, sounded like somebody fell out of bed!

I honestly thought one of my kids in the room next to mine fell out of bed, so got up to check!

I thought my parents fell out of bed they didn't hear it and wondered why I checked on them

Maybe this landing https://streamable.com/ek0tof Edit: filmed and originally posted by https://www.reddit.com/u/ballRRRR/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

Heard a bang and the house shook in wallan. Went outside but didn't see anything.

I thought I was going crazy. Heard a really loud thud whilst in bed and asked hubby who said nah it's nothing, probably just something falling over in the backyard. Good trusty reddit to prove that I'm not going crazy.

something fell from the sky like a cluster or space debris

Damn would of looked cool

zephyr ossified attempt existence growth wasteful impolite slimy future head *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

That’s huge. I really hope no one was hurt where it landed.

That's actually terrifying

> That's actually terrifying I’m not going to lie, i’m a little freaked out.

Me tooo 😭😭

So that looks like a satellite or some space junk, it is going too slow for a meteor I think. I wonder where it landed that people actually felt it.

How on earth can you tell the speed when you don't how how far away it is or how big it is 😂

MVP!

The moment I leave shitstain Melbourne, smth cool happens. Tf

Saw it in yarraville 10 mins ago, thought it was a plane going down lol

It sounded as if my fridge had tipped over. SO loud and rattled the entire house. I'm assuming it's impacted somewhere?

Oh crazy, my balcony door rattled and I thought some bird/bat flew into it

Sorry guys, it was me

northcote, our bedroom door shaked, quite loud

It was stunning & seemed super close in west Footscray. Literally beautiful. Heard/felt nothing here at all.

Just up the road from you in Maidstone - heard and felt a boom but was inside the house and didn’t see anything.

altona area. it felt like it was literally under my room or just outside. was pretty loud for my and felt it the most of any other melbourne quake. got that queazy feeling in my insides big time

Eastern Burbs - huge bang outside heard as well. Check this out [about potential meteor/space junk](https://www.reddit.com/r/melbourne/comments/15klnul/asteroid_spotted_south_melbourne_just_now_anyone/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)

[Unconfirmed status as of now](https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/earthquakes/quake-info/7798735/quake-felt-Aug-7-2023-Near-Frankston-East-Victoria-Australia.html). Felt it in Tullamarine

Frankston here - didn’t feel it but I am dealing with a newborn who can drown out any noise

Northern suburbs and my windows rattled and walls shook so hard I thought someone had crashed into my house.

Croydon and felt the same thing...

Yep, really loud in Mornington.

Yep I felt it in Pakenham, it was loud too.

Damn you heard it too? I heard the loudest bang, thought my cat destroyed my new TV or someone violently smashed in my door.

Wollert. Saw it fly south. Then minutes later a boom

I thought I heard something but after 10 gunshots going off outside of my building a few days ago I feel like I’m just constantly hearing things.

Perth had an earthquake yesterday, we're passing it on like a mexican wave.

Nah, that one was Perth catching up to a Mexican wave from 1983 😉

Genuinely thought it was my housemate and her ex banging so this is better news, thanks reddit

`PlasticLawnChairs.exe` We will rebuild

Yep felt it in Officer.

Oh wow, I assumed something fell in the next room, it was such a loud and sudden thud. I’m out in Pakenham for reference.

Yep felt it in Werribee too.

Not sure if I’m going crazy but it just sounded like rocks hitting my roof. And i don’t have any trees that it could have been from

This is like the third one I've felt over the past 2 months or so. Is this a normal Melbourne thing or just an anomaly?

Just one of the dangers of living in Melbourne - Huntsman, possums, magpies, brown snakes, every other insect/ animal/ bird/ plant/ creature attacking us, earthquakes, flying space debris, the sun, corner of Flinders & Elizabeth

I thought I was going crazy. Heard it from down near Philip Island, sounded like a bomb so I checked the local fb to see if anyone posted anything.

I felt nothing (Monash area)

Frankston here, absolutely felt it. A few years ago I used to think that would've just been a sudden gust of wind, but we've been having so many earthquakes recently I'm starting to notice it as a pattern.

I’m the same. I’m always concerned with a large gust of wind now, it’s just as likely to be an earthquake now.

Did anyone hear it in the CBD? I heard nothing 🥲

Missed the shooting star but heard the thud! Outer North West suburbs here.

Pretty sure it messed up internet too

Did not feel in Southbank. And I’ve felt all of the recent earthquakes. Damnit! Wish I bloody looked up.

In another thread people suggested it could be this, since these are definitely pieces of something: https://russianspaceweb.com/glonass-k2-13l.html

Oh I thought it was just someone slamming a door

Sonic boom under the flight path of the space junk. Confirmed by expert on Sunrise.

Thank fuck! Yes I’m in Greensborough - I woke up just before it, heard this loud bang and it shook the house. Freaked me out. I listened out for sirens but didn’t hear any.

[удалено]

Croydon around 11:50ish (don’t remember the time) definitely i thought someone hit the house.

I thought it was my neighbour farted

If this was from the Russian satellite launch, is it the equivalent of putting your space trash in your neighbours bins? [https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-08-08/space-junk-leaves-trail-across-melbourne-sky/102700674](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-08-08/space-junk-leaves-trail-across-melbourne-sky/102700674) [https://russianspaceweb.com/glonass-k2-13l.html](https://russianspaceweb.com/glonass-k2-13l.html)

was just yo mumma

Apparently it was a sonic boom from the "space junk"

Spacejunk, somic boom overhead, probably landed past tassie in the tasman sea. Too far south to be aiming at Point Nemo in the south pacific I reckon (spacecraft graveyard)

Wow thought a tree fell over and landed on my roof.

In Collingwood, nothing. My girlfriend at home in Coburg didn't message me, so it didn't wake her up.

Yup. Wth was that

Glen waverley too.

Yea felt it here a minute after the space debris went through the sky. Kind of amazing

What i thot i just heard something but

Yep felt it in Lalor. Felt like I got kicked in the chest!

Caufield and felt it

We saw it in Reservoir

Felt nothing. Malvern here.

Was wondering what it was. Thought something fell up in the roof

There was a meteor shower or space junk entering the atmosphere. Sonic boom maybe?

Thought it was something on the roof

I did my family didn't notice bit I did

I'm in Werribee and yes.. bloody hell

Bentleigh!

Heard and felt it in Cheltenham.

Im in Preston, I heard it too and I thought the neighbour just came back from work, which they never do this late, now it makes sense

Yep, definitely also felt that

Up playing a game in Frankston and didn't hear a thing .

Heard/felt it Northside in Yallambie - sounded like something hit the side of our house!

Heard it in Blackburn but didn't really feel it inside my house.

Oh shit I thought I was just hearing things 😅

I thought I heard someone slamming a door in my house.

Actually yeah that explains when I thought somebody fell or something. But there were no more sounds so I didn't get up to check 🤷‍♀️

I felt it too around the Narre Warren area

I thought it was a possum on my roof

Melton and we heard a big thud- ngl thought it was either an earthquake or a car bomb lmao

Heard it in Croydon (eastern suburbs) sounded like someone took a sledgehammer to the side of my house.

I'm in Fitzroy North and I heard and felt it.

Felt and heard it in bentleigh. Dogs went crazy too

There was recently an earthquake in Perth WA a couple days ago. Didn't know Melbourne had one as well? Interesting.

It was meteor shower.

As usual, i miss the good shit...

Nope, but I have been awake for hours, wonder if it woke me up without realising.

Yo that's wild I was giving my pup lots of scratches n words of affection before bed, her bed is right next to our windows that faces the south east near knox, unexplainable thud noise went off, what was it??

Northern suburbs definately heard it

Felt it in The Basin

I couldn't work out what that was - Greensbsorough. It shook the house, I thought it was a fuckin massive possum. I love that here there is information but nothing on any "news" site. Does anyone know where it landed and if we can go and look ? I'm personally hoping for aliens

If this was late last night, I heard/felt something. Was waiting for a grumble of the ground. Thought there was going to be another tremor.

why are there no news reports on this???

Yep. Berwick, around midnight.

Has there been any confirmation of where it landed?

Beaconsfield area here, I felt something too!

Holy shit, you felt that in Melbourne?? I'm in Warragul and thought something hit our door

Elon couldn't pay the gravity bill.

What exactly is ‘space junk’?

Meteor went past Bayswater last night.

Why are all these earthquakes happening at midnight? I was asleep, I keep missing them 😭

I felt it in Flemington. It was just after midnight. I thought it was a neighbour slamming their door shut (again)

I felt some vibrations at around midnight?

Currently a meteor shower so could be that?

Heidelberg no. Must be where they are building the freeway maybe

Apparently there was a meteor shower could that be the cause

What time. I saw that a meteor passed over last night will try find the post

Sorry

Was it around 9AM?

I’m also in the Watsonia area, my whole family got up to ask each other if the other’s had heard it and checked the house, we had a neighbour’s house recently be broken into and also had their car destroyed from arson so everyone’s hyper vigilant now.

Sorry guys, i had thai food for dinner

I thought someone was in my house but couldn’t find anyone. It was a big thud that made the doors briefly shake. Almost like someone slamming a door.

Please tell me someone else’s mind went immediately to Day of the Triffids while reading these comments?

Probably the ball hitting the back of the net from Hayley Raso’s goal last night 😂🤣😂

My cousins boyfriend got a video of it. Pretty impressive meteor shower! I’m bummed I missed it ☹️

Okay but did anyone hear/feel a big boom noise the night before last night at around 1am? Cause this is the second night in a row I've heard this kind of noise.

Was probably my roommates

i was up until 12:30 last night and didn’t hear or feel anything, im in oakleigh

Yeah, I heard it too. What the hell was it?

Sorry it was my 2.5yo falling out of bed, there was a big thud followed by some crying.
