It's supposed to be visible in the New Zealand skies until the end of the week,so I guess you guy's will be able to see it until then as well.

I actually saw it on thursday night from my back yard, its pretty visible on a clear night even from the suburbs, but you can see it better by heading to the beach or an area not flooded with city light.

nope, i didn't see it.

aparantly, what i saw was after burn of an F1-11.... sad...

but it was travelling quite low to the ground, whatever it was.
