Matt Wilcox was out for a walk in the resort on Wednesday night when he spotted something odd in the sky. Catching the object on camera, he said it was visible for about a minute before it went behind the Remarkables and out of sight. Queenstown resident Matt Wilcox was lucky enough to witness what was probably a meteor on Wednesday evening. "It turned and it became a wide horizontal line, with a black thing looking like a helicopter, but super high, right across the sky, then it disappeared." However, reader Bruce Smaill said the object was most likely a LATAM airlines Boeing on the way from Sydney to Santiago, Chile.
