My brother and I saw two sightings of large bright red fireballs from Hamilton City traveling in a Westly arc at 8:45 pm and approximately 3 minutes later we saw the second one.
Today’s date is 24 February 2026.

Saw something this morning around 5am in clear starry sky north taranaki .. looked a couple metres long, a thick white line traveling not too fast along the sky coming down to touch the land in the far distance after what seemed like couple minutes mayb. Both my partner and I watched it .. pretty neat!!

17th February 2026, 4:18AM – Whakatāne area.
Observed a large turquoise/teal colour meteorite which appeared to be between Whakatāne/Awakeri area. Definitely had a fire tail. Fell on a 45 degree angle for about 5 seconds. Incredible to say the least 😍

Feb 10th at 9:30pm approx. viewed from Tauranga
What appeared to be a large meteor with a fire tail flew across us. Like nothing I’ve seen before. Amazing.
Lasted about 1 second.

At 1:11am on the 5th I was on the beach In kapiti I was looking down and saw everything around me light up like I was under a spot light so I looked up an saw a huge orange an red object in the sky.
I thought a plane had exploded as it was so low it disappeared behind kapiti island in a few seconds it was unreal.

I thought I must of been seeing things because no one else I’ve talked to saw it, I’m still buzzed out to what it Actully was lol

It was about 11:30 pm on the 28-01-26 at awhitu peninsula, it seemed to come from the east from the direction of Auckland airport and went west over the peninsula. It was yellow/ orange at the front followed by bright white tail. I wasn’t going to mention it but there seems to be a few happening at the moment

We were driving into Maungaturoto at 1.10am this morning.. the fireball was so low in the sky we thought it would land on us! The whole sky lit up orange as bright as daylight before the ball turned blue and green. A once in a lifetime experience!

I didnt see anything but noticed a big flash in the night sky! So I knew people might post about it the next day…

Saw a Blue/Green fireball at approx. 1:10am due west of Glenfield, Auckland.

I saw a fireball around 1:10am this morning over Tauranga, it split into around 3-4 pieces all with long glowing tails then the entire sky flashed green and it disappeared, incredible sight to see especially as it was a totally clear night sky
