I saw a very large meteor? last night at 2:02am New Zealand time (9th march), it came in almost straight down slightly to the left by maybe 10-15 degrees, it was as good as i can tell by lining up my posititon and its position on google earth exactly North West of my position at Ohangai, South Taranaki.
It was bright orange with small duller cold spots and had a reddish streak abought 15 degrees long.
It came in very fast and did not expode in the air or seem to decrease in size.
I thought it was close because of the size but i waited about 15 minutes and there was no boom that i could hear.
It looked so close that i honestly thought that i was about to die.
Sincerely, D Downs
Thank you Daniel !
