“#Large meteor lights up skies in Norway<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

HELSINKI \u2014 Norwegian experts say an unusually large meteor was visible over large parts of southern Scandinavia and illuminated southeast Norway with a powerful flash of light for a few seconds as many observers were reported to also hear a roaring sound afterwards.<\/p>\n

The Norwegian Meteor Network<\/a>\u00a0said that it had analyzed and reviewed several videos of the event Sunday and said the meteor first app<\/a>eared about 90 kilometers (55 miles) north of the capital, Oslo, and continued its trail in a southwest direction before fragmenting in several flashes of light.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meteor appeared at 1:08 a.m. on the night of July 25 and was visible for approximately for 5 seconds,\u201d said the network said, which had posted\u00a0a video on the phenomenon on its Twitter site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sightings of meteors, space rocks that burn brightly after entering the Earth\u2019s atmosphere at high speed, aren\u2019t uncommon over Norway and the Norwegian Meteor Network has a number of cameras continuously monitoring the sky.<\/p>\n

Preliminary data suggested a meteorite may have hit Earth in a large forested area, Finnemarka, not far from Oslo, the Norwegian Meteor Network said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
