I'm so mortified I feel like defenestrating myself. .

Also, your account kickinbackinOC, reminds me of looking directly up at the parking lot lights at walmart....... but then I realized, that must be what it is to look up at the bottom of rocket boosters. That would explain the severe brightness, the fact that it was so high up and yet so bright (produced its own light), and seemed to be moving so slowly (because it was headed "up). You saw a rocket launch into space.

With all the views I am hoping that some qualified professional would willing donate his time to authenticate this video since it is getting so much attention.

Done. It is an authentic video of the standard post-insertion fuel dump from a just-launched Chinese space booster in high orbit, lit by the sun. These are seen a few times a year around the world but require an accidental convergence of a number of independent factors. The orbital path of the rocket and its three deployed satellites can easily be computed and it passes over Melbourne at the right time, in the right direction, at the right angular rate. QED.

Higher? Like at 1100 km?
The ISS typically orbits at 1400 miles, occasionally to a very low 400 miles. The 1100 km you mention in another post is about 683 miles. The ISS is usually orbiting higher than that. Unless it was at or near LEO.

Thanks for the details about your reasoning, Kick, it helps identify the errors you think are true, that have misled you. The ISS has never orbited anywhere close to 1400 miles, it's highest orbit has been in the 260 mile range. Check this out, and then re-think your conclusion, please.

There may be some similarities between what I saw and a rocket launch.
But I would not have seen a long dark cylinder body of the craft between the "rocket boosters", as you put it. There are other problems with that explanation, such as trajectory, location, lack of exhaust trail, etc, etc. It wasn't a rocket launch.

kick, perhaps you have the wrong mental picture of what a rocket AFTER launch should look like. It's already in orbit. It's venting surplus fuel. The cloud is sunlit. The three satellites on board have been deployed. What is it about the description that a Chinese rocket from Jiuquan half an hour earlier would NOT look like?

Nice that you brought this up but I don't think that is what Lou recorded.

Fair enough. But the Chinese objects were crossing the skies of Melbourne at the same, time, in the same direction, and at the same orbital rate as this object -- why do you suppose Lou did NOT see them, but did see this 'other' object?

Sorry if any ambiguity and lack of clarity led to creating a misunderstanding. I never meant to suggest this was a rocket BEING launched. That happened over China half an hour earlier. In my interpretation, this shows that rocket stage coasting in orbit, spewing leftover fuel, with its deployed triplet of payloads close by.

Amazing footage, Lou! Any intelligent person can see that this object is moving much slower than satellites or the ISS...and it does not have the same configuration or appearance.
I've had many sightings, myself, since 1974...so I know you got something truly unknown. Well done!
Check out my historical website: noufors.com
One of two historical UFO websites in Canada. Take care
By the way, Skepi-bunker James Oberg is wrong about this...Space Shrapnel, my ass!!!
Would you believe 'space swamp gas'? Actually, if the fuel components include methane, that might not be entirely a joke. But 'shrapnel'? Never suggested that.

Or its lower and flying in the atmosphere...
Its clearly triangular and the lightsource is in the middle, perfect match to the elusive Tier 3 B plattform.
Just sayin...
Your right this cant be the space station by NASA here how it looks like.
