Meteorite

Yesterday a meteorite burnt up as it crashed through the atmosphere above New Zealand - quite exciting really. What's most amusing for us is that hundreds of people were highly concerned about the huge bang they heard (it could be heard over a stretch of about 500km in the South island) and phoned the police whilst we thought it was just a truck on the building site over the road! No photos of it I'm afraid - in fact nobody seemed to get any footage, so the TV stations keep playing re-runs of the meteorite that crashed 9 years ago!
