Seismologists in Canberra are processing this data and will be able to comment on the time and location of the event. Preliminary analysis recorded of the event taken at the University of New England indicate the object was moving east to west and inspection of photos indicate the object could have descended at an angle of 45 degrees. Meteorite impacts are not uncommon. The Earth Science department at the University of New England has an extensive collection of meteorites available for public inspection including a 50 kg specimen discovered in central Queensland in 1956. Photographs suggest the size of disturbance at Guyra at around 15 metres.
Meteorites have density three times that of solid rock.
Terminal velocity at the time of impact could have been 10 km per second or 36,000 kilometres per hour.
