Last night, 1:35am. Looking East from Paekakariki. Huge meteor burnt out just before going behind the hills.

Just saw a blue streak move across sky from south to north which lasted about 1min then disappeared in Te Anau. I thought it might have been Starlink satellites but because it vanished it can’t have been. We were actually looking for the comet.

Just saw a huge bright blue shooting star! It was falling down and so beautiful. Visible even though it’s quite cloudy tonight! Glenfield, Auckland.
