Long duration meteor in Tasman Sea. Update 20240630

2024, June 28. Tasman Sea, New Zealand's north island west coast. Fireball. Long Beg:173.79, Lat Beg: -37.91, Long End: 170.38, Lat End: -37.82. Velocity: 27.78 km/s. Duration: 10.78 Seconds. Altitude: Beg: 100.38 km, End: 76.83 km. Flight Distance: 299 km. A watch should be taken for Marine Animal Disturbance on New Zealand's north island/west coast coastline and the south islands/northern coast at Farewell Spit and Golden Bay. Until further data on these events can pinpoint the meteors that should be noted as alerts for whale stranding, I will play it safe. 


Update 20240630. Eyewitness accounts of the meteor stretched over a distance of 430 km from Kerikeri in the north of the island to New Plymouth in the south.
