Good chance it would’ve been seen by a bunch of people and mentioned in the local newspapers of the time too.
I often look for things at trove — but I think that might be too recent for trove to have the relevant newspaper articles available.
Here’s an example of an advanced search there:
https://trove.nla.gov.au/search/advanced/category/newspapers?keyword=Meteor%20newcastle&date.from=1975-01-01&date.to=1987-12-31 https://trove.nla.gov.au/search/advanced/category/newspapers...
(For meteor and newcastle between 1975 and 1987)
