Amateur enthusiasts and scientists alike are doubling down on efforts to find an elusive meteorite that crashed to earth last week - probably on farmland between Middlemarch and Outram in Otago.
So far the lump of space rock has evaded searchers including geology students from Otago University, but reinforcements are on the way and footage from an array of cameras should narrow the search field.
Planetary Astronomer and senior lecturer at Canterbury University Dr Michele Bannister is also a member of Fireballs Aotearoa - a group dedicated to finding freshly fallen meteorites. She is driving to Dunedin to join the hunt.
