Peter Brierley Millnan photographed an enormous flaming object streaking through the sky off the west coast of Auckland last night - and he wants to know what it was.
The Titirangi man was at Karekare Beach in West Auckland around sunset when what he assumed was a "very large asteroid" appeared far out over the Tasman Sea.
"It was really quite impressive - we saw it from a long distance and we could see it was a large object, so it must have been huge."
The object moved through the sky for around 20 minutes before burning up, he said.
