A fireball was seen over Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Canterbury, Hawke's Bay, Manawatū-Whanganui, Marlborough, Nelson, Otago, Tasman, Waikato and West Coast on Wednesday, July 3rd, 2024, around 08:01 UT. See June 30 post for the Marine Animal Disturbance. It was one of several notable meteors that entered the atmosphere in the last 24 hours with others seen in the southern states of Australia. It was part of a swarm of objects seen at 6:30pm, followed by the one above at about 9pm local time and two more just after 4am. Although unlikely it could be precursor material for an airburst. With limited information concerning Tasmanian atmospheric events, it is almost impossible to ascertain what is happening, however, a watch should be noted for the next few weeks just to be safe. Bass Strait, Southern Ocean, Tasman Sea, Victoria, Tasmania, Flinders, and King Islands.
MASS WHALE STRANDINGS CAUSED BY METEOROIDS AND METEOR SHOWERS. The completed paper can be found below in the January 7th post titled Connection between Meteoroids and Mass Whale Strandings. “It is not known why they sometimes run aground on the seashore: for it is asserted that this happens rather frequently when the fancy takes them and without any apparent reason.” -Arisotle
