Initial data
Amazing footage was shot at dawn on 28 February 2017, a resident of the town of Sorell in Tasmania. The huge bright orange object with a long tail was slowly falling into the ocean.
Posted on Facebook the video has sparked a lot of controversy and speculation, ranging from a fall of pieces of the International space station, meteor, vapor jet aircraft, flying fairies and, of course, space ships from another galaxy.
"The object was moving very slowly. I thought it could be a meteorite, and took his binoculars," - said the author of the video Lee-Anne Peters.
"I was sure that something was falling from space ... but now, I think it was just a plane with contrails, painted the rising of the sun," she said.

Original news
The federal government's air navigation services provider Airservices Australia confirmed the object captured on hundreds of mobile phones and cameras across southern Tasmania early on Tuesday morning was nothing more than an aircraft "as it passed over Australian airspace". But that assertion did not stop members of the public drawing their own conclusions and disparaging naysayers for their lack of faith. Striking footage of the object filmed by Sorell resident Lee-Anne Peters caused a frenzy as Facebook users speculated on what it could be, with the International Space Station, meteorites, plane contrails, fairies and, of course, spacecraft from another galaxy among the mix of possibilities. "It was very slow moving, not like the high jets I've seen before. I got out the binoculars and thought it must be a meteorite," Ms Peters said. "I was sure it was something burning up from space … but now, I am sure it was just a plane with the sunrise highlighting its contrails," she said. Despite Ms Peter's verdict, many Facebook users were quick to disagree — with some rejoicing in what the close encounter might mean. "No longer will the population outcast you for believing in aliens," one Facebook user posted.
Hypotheses
Cloud (natural and man-made)
Clouds are the products of condensation of water vapor suspended in the atmosphere, visible in the sky from the surface of the earth. They consist of tiny drops of water and/or ice crystals (called cloud elements).
Investigation
This is most likely a condensation trail of a plane, illuminated by sunlight.
The article planet-today stated:
Professor John wild of the University of Tasmania said that the mysterious object could be "a piece of space junk" burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.
"It's definitely not a meteorite, they're usually more like shooting stars, but I wouldn't call it contrails of the aircraft," he added.
According to the Professor, this "space debris" could be separated, the upper stage of a rocket. Currently in earth orbit has accumulated quite a lot of such waste facilities, which pose a danger for satellites.
However, Chris Arcl telescopes Londonskogo planetarium, believes that this could be the aircraft flying at very high altitude, as the falling from orbit, space junk or a meteor would move much faster.
Representatives of air navigation service reported that at this time in the air space of Australia was the Emirates Airbus A380 aircraft bound for Auckland.
