A bright fireball was spotted in New Zealand on February, 11 2015 around 10 PM NZDT – (11/02/2015 09:00 UT), with sightings from Whangarei in the north all the way to upper South Island.

According to the country’s Weather Watch, the great majority of witnesses reported a huge blinding flash. Call-ins from north of the country also reported sonic booms and even – sometimes – slight shaking. . . .
