A green meteor burned up in the sky over New Zealand. This might sound weird, but it's actually fairly common.
If a meteor is traveling fast enough, it can get so hot that the iron and nickel in it glow green. And if you are close to the poles, green meteor tails can also be caused by the same magnetic phenomenon that creates auroras.
Which is why New Zealand gets more of them.
No aliens. Sadly.
