Norway hit by meteor
« on: June 09, 2006, 03:01:13 PM »
Hum,

Northern Norway was hit with an meteorite impact comparable to the atomic bomb on Wednesday, 7th June, 2006.
For several seconds, residents of the northern part of Troms and the western areas of Finnmark saw a ball of fire crossing the sky.
A few minutes later an impact was heard and geophysics and seismology stations in Karasjok registered a powerful sound and seismic disturbances at 02:13.25 a.m.
The meteorite hit a mountainside in Reisadalen in North Troms, and was probably the largest known to have struck Norway.

Hum,
as yet there has been no crater found.
And the original estimates have been questioned (and revised) by a few people.
The impact search area was shifted further north after analysis of data recorded by a few seismic stations.
