OT - Meteor explodes in sky above New Zealand

<< A meteor exploded in the sky above New Zealand on Wednesday, casting an eerie blue light and showering the earth with fragments from space.

The explosion at 4:15 p.m. (1:15 a.m. EDT) was followed by smoke and a flood of phone calls from people who saw the meteor streaking across the sky, the Carter Observatory in Wellington said. No injuries were reported.

``It was picked up by aircraft and on radar, so we've had some air traffic controllers calling too,' said John Field, the observatory's public programs officer.

The meteor was likely to have been either metal or rock and was probably as big as a car , Field said. A rock meteor would have broken up into a shower of stones as it came through the atmosphere. On average, one meteor falls to Earth each week, he said. >>
