A loud boom and "explosion" that shook Feilding on Wednesday morning is likely burning pieces of asteroids entering the atmosphere, a planetary astronomer says.
The event over Manawatū District turned clouds orange, and caused residents to wonder if there had been an explosion or an earthquake.
Kath Hopping said she was sitting outside her house before her morning run about 6.50am when an "explosion in the sky" shook her house and stopped her.
She said it sounded like a gas tanker had exploded nearby, or she thought there could have been an earthquake, but she couldn't see anything nearby, and went to check her security camera.

The Clima ao Vivo and Bramon cameras recorded a meteor during the early hours of this Thursday (15), which crossed the sky of Minas Gerais and the Federal District.
The bright fireball in this video was recorded on June 11, at 1:54 local time (equivalent to 23:54 universal time on June 10). It was almost as bright as the full Moon. The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from a comet that hit the atmosphere at about 67,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the Mediterranean Sea. It began at an altitude of about 104 km over the sea, moved northeast, and ended at a height of around 74 km over the Mediterranean.
This bright meteor was recorded in the framework of the SMART project, operated by the Southwestern Europe Meteor Network (SWEMN) from the meteor-observing stations located at Huelva, La Hita (Toledo), Calar Alto, Sierra Nevada, La Sagra (Granada), and Sevilla. The event has been analyzed by the principal investigator of the SMART project: Dr. Jose M. Madiedo, from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC).
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well... You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect...
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.
