Default What was that?

I know its dark but, anybody know what the hell flew over brisbane about 5 minutes ago from the time of this post? Just curious is all. It flew in the opposite direction previously bout hour ago.
Looked and sounded to be a high speed jet travelling at a medium pace, with wing lights and 1 flashing light, but strangely next to it and travelling at a dissimilar speed was just a flashing light? :
Just thought someone might be within the airforce on the forum.

Note: Although mail order brides may look sweet & petite on their introduction pictures, many are as they say much larger in person. (They often look quite different and seem to age 20years on the journey over also).
As such they all would not be able to fit in. Sorry.
