New Zealand Large Meteor 6MAR2011

Red Beach, north of Auckland, New Zealand large yellow/orange meteor 10:22pm local 6MAR2011
Hey there. Just found your page when I was looking up info about meteorites last night.
I am in Red Beach, which is 25 miles north of Auckland in New Zealand. Last night at 10:22pm local time I saw a relatively large yellow/orange meteorite fly across the sky travelling in a north western direction. It was going extremely fast and appeared as if it was disintegrating. It was in the sky for a good 5 seconds from what I saw. It took a while to disappear. Not sure if this is related or not, but i've never seen any meteorites like that before.
Thanks.
