No, not cosmic cock & balls…

Was watching a piece on Skylab ”distributing” itself across SW Australia in 1979 and it reminded me of myself observing something as a child (probably about the same time as Skylab) looking North out the front window on Beechings Way. My memory is that of a bright, cloudy like ball moving Eastish to Westish, possibly with a tail of some sort but it was a bright blue sky.

Looking at trajectories and stuff, I don’t think it can be Skylab.

It occurred to me that some of you older gents might have seen something too or perhaps, know what it was.

I would’ve been somewhere between 3 to 6 years old, putting in the 1978-1981 period.
