Watch the Skies!

At 3pm a meteor streaked across Canterbury at 60 kms/s creating a sonic boom that rattled the roof of our factory for several seconds. Unfortunately I was inside at the time so I missed the fireball but seismic sensors all over the country detected the boom. The bang was heard over most of the south island. A search is on to find any fragments that reached the ground.
