Meteor over New Zealand

A meteor or fire ball fell over the South Island of New Zealand today, here's a video of the news broadcast from TV3 about the fire ball, I don't know what the retention is like with their video streams so it might be gone in a few days. The video doesn't show this incident but it does show video of a previous meteor caught by a family rolling down a road which is pretty cool.

I remember in recent times a few more stories on the news about meteors falling above New Zealand, one involved a meteorite falling into some ones living room, I think they then sold it to meteorite collectors for a good sum (Here's that story). Also here's a video I found on youtube, this clip in pretty old most of the presenters left this network about 5 years ago.
