I was driving to work this morning. Motueka to Nelson and saw a large fireball with a tail fall coming over the hill before Māpua at 5.55am. It was incredible. The biggest I have ever seen. Does anyone know anything about this?

I saw the same thing just after 8pm tonight (25/07/24) over Whitby in Wellington. It was huge with an incredible fireball with a long tail and looked really close!
