Subject: Meteor Over NZ


Just coming over the news that a meteor exploded over Nth West
New Zealand Coast this afternoon. Reports have been reported of
a _huge_ explosion, seen from Auckland to the West Coast of the
Sth Island.

A white cloud of smoke was shown on Television News. Interviews
told of ppl hearing the explosion and looking to the sky saw
debris falling in a "falling Leaf" pattern.

Unusually, this was seen in the daytime. Observer after
observer described the event as a _huge_ explosion with houses
and other buildings shaken as though an earthquake hit them.

It was estimated to have been 100-150 kms up when it burnt up,
but this has since been revised to 50-75kms No debris has been
recovered as yet.

This is certainly causing a big stir in this neck of the woods.

More details as I get them
