Initial data
February 18, 1997, 12: 50 pm ET Possible UFO crash? Bright flash in Melbourne, Australia, Northern sky. 18/2/97 12: 50 pm ET, like the flash of a nuclear explosion, followed by a distant thud with a metallic echo.
As someone in the distance hit a 44-gallon barrel half full of water. Whether it's a UFO or meteor crash, I haven't heard any emergency sirens locally, so it must be somewhere far north of land.
