A large meteor exploaded over the North Island of New Zealand yesterday at 0939 UTC. It was seen widely and caused windows and doors to rattle as it passed overhead. I don't know of any video of this event, but will post it if comes available. I had been out observing the moon and Spica until shortly before. I was working at the computer with the back door of the house open, when there was what seemed like a sudden gust of wind that shut the door. Windows rattled with the pressure wave of the sonic boom, then I heard a sound similar to a jet passing quickly overhead at low level. By the time I got outside, there was no visible evidence in the sky, but reports say it was VERY bright and broke into at least three pieces before fading. Wow, what a ripper!
