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. >> abcnews.go.com ***** Morning Lorne, Duck! ... Maybe ole NostraD still has a surprise for us in the next 2 or 3 months. < g > John

<<''Last night's price response sets the tone for the next several sales,'' he said. ''The BoE sale demonstrates that a transparent gold disposal program can be just as price destructive. The oversubscription most probably simply reflected speculative under-bidding on the price, rather than strong underlying demand, a point emphasised by the subsequent price fall. ''Future sellers will now likely revert to the earlier strategy of 'sell first, announce later', adding further uncertainty to the market.''>> theage.com.au
