Hi Everyone,
                  We had a real beaut object enter over New Zealand at
15:55 NZST(03:55 UT ) today. It made one heck of a bang, and my sister
who lives in Christchurch said their brick house shook, with a rumble
that went on for some time after the bang. Another friend in
Chchristchurch has reported the same sort of effect. A seismograph in
the Port Hills above Christchurch also detected the sonic boom, but no
others around the area (>20km away) detected it.

Airline pilots saw the fireball, but I have little other info. It
appears to me to have been a decent sized bolide, which probably
dropped material off the SE coast of the South Island.

However, was anything man-made due in over our area today?

Many thanks

Rod Austin
