Just before 10 pm 27/2/25, I saw a long streak high to the north going westerly above Enner Glynn, Nelson. Relatively slow. So cool!

Saw my first Meteor tonight. Sooo cool! Time : 8:55pm Location: Gulf Harbour Whangaparaoa. It went straight over my house from NW heading Eastward towards Tiri Tiri Martangi. A spectacular sight. And it would seem this is now the second sighting seen this month. Another person in these comment has seen one also. I am going back outside. Awesome night to start gaze.
