METEOR EXPLODED

Cloud of debris with meteor explosion over New Zealand

A meteor exploded above New Zealand scattering debris in a spectacular display of light (pictured above) on July 7, 1999. NASA first identified two meteroid swarms on June 27 during the June 23 - July 5 window that predicted "anomalous lights, fireballs or meteors". The TimeStar prediction was posted four weeks earlier (June 1) based on the characteristics of the window for those dates. The meteor was part of an unannounced swarm that NASA had detected on June 27 then announced June 28. Although we approach the Taurid meteors at the end of June each year, the July 7 meteor that exploded over New Zealand was not part of the Taurids.

On July 6, the first of a large UFO flap had started in Queensland, Australia when bright orange illuminations were sighted slowing moving northeast at 8.20pm. Sightings of slow-moving objects over Australia continued on July 7, and on July 10 witnesses in Queensland reported seven orange illuminations heading (east) towards Dandenong ranges. The objects appeared in formation, travelling without sound at an altitude of aproximately 1000 meters. Objects were unlike anything the witnesses had seen before.

Only hours after the meteor exploded a UFO was recorded live over Monterrey, Mexico during a news broadcast by the local TV Azteca Network at 7:30 AM. The TimeStar Forecast had predicted meteors or fireballs in the 13-day window from June 23 to July 5, when the anomalous meteor swarms were discovered. The TimeStar prediction was made solely with characteristics indicated by the calendar for the 13-day window with no specific reference to the Taurid meteors. While the TimeStar is concerned only with cyclic trends, the forecasts have predicted that increased UFO sightings would serve as forewarnings around endangered areas. The fourth largest volcano in the world, Mt Popocateptl, is south of Mexico City where a catastrophic earthquake occurred in 1985.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- A meteor exploded in the sky above New Zealand on Wednesday, casting an eerie blue light and showering the earth with fragments from space, authorities and witnesses said.

No injuries were reported, but authorities were flooded with hundreds of calls from people who reported seeing the streaking meteor, emergency services said.

The Carter Observatory in Wellington said the explosion occurred about 4:15 p.m. (0615 GMT) and was followed by smoke in the sky _ and a flood of phone calls from witnesses.

"It was picked up by aircraft and on radar, so we've had some air traffic controllers calling too," said John Field, the observatory's public programs officer.

Police said hundreds of people reported seeing a bright streak across the sky over a remote part of New Zealand's North Island, between the cities of Napier, 186 miles (300 kilometers) north of the capital, Wellington, on the east coast and New Plymouth, about the same distance from Wellington, on the west coast.
