A South Island radio station is being swamped with reports 
of a meteor strike in the Mackenzie Country.

People from Christchurch to Timaru say they saw a bright 
light streaking across the sky around 9.30 last night.

Port FM announcer James Valentine says he has taken dozens 
of calls describing the dramatic end of the meteor's journey.

He says it exploded before it hit the ground, and flames and 
debris were seen in the sky.

James Valentine says a consensus is building around the idea 
the meteor crashed to earth somewhere near Twizel.
