@JohnBarentine My son was in Ngaio, Wellington and saw a streak through sky ~11:27pm NZ time.
Lot of webcam footage and descriptions, but nobody has linked to the spacecraft re-entry despite direction being consistent with where it landed in Pacific.

@PostOffInquiry "In Your Own Words" will have long term value to society.
After the Canterbury earthquakes in NZ, the university captured video, photo and voice footage.
More than a decade later this is being updated, researched and used for education and history.

@JohnBarentine Often the economic value of the dark sky status hasn't been quantified to counter the perceived value of other initiatives too. Woud help, alongside a metric for potential value. Then you have both ecomomic and environmental arguments to leverage.
