Greetings fellow forum-ers, Mr. Roid.

I too saw this, along with two or three of my friends, on our balcony in Kangaroo Point, which faces South-West. The odd thing about our sighting was that the rocket, or whatever you'd like to call it, was almost perfectly due west from us. It seemed to be a fair distance, and from our point-of-view, and with the sun being in the position setting nearby, we couldn't see the actual object, only the plume of fire.

Seeing many sunsets from our balcony before, we assumed it was cloud being reflected upon by the sun, as we had seen similar before, but we soon noticed it moving upwards from our view, and being a completely different colour to nearby clouds.

During it's movement, of which we only saw a minute or two due to noone noticing it for a while, it did not change shape, colour, size, etc.

It then dissapeared behind a large storm cloud and that was the last we saw of it.

I immediately did several scours of the net to see if anything was planned for that day and saw rumours of a rocket being tested from adelaide, but that wouldn't make much sense if it had been travelling upwards from nearby.

Hope this helps.
