The headline reads "Meteorite Wakes Up Christchurch", and the articles says it was at 3 in the afternoon? A little late for a siesta don't ya thin?

The article says local police think it was space junk re-entering, but the reports don't seem consistent with this. I've heard sonic booms from the Space Shuttle as it passed over San Francisco while de-orbiting. It sounded like fireworks in the distant. It made the neighborhood dogs bark.
