Just out in many newspaper websites etc in Norway:
A 676 g CO meteorite was found after a roof started to leak following the
first rains after the July 14th fall.
A company was hired to find the reson for the leakage.
10 cm down in the roof  the cause of the leakage was found,
another meteorite!
This stone fits the stone found in Frode Johansens garden (752 g).
It will today be donated to the Geological Museum at the University of Oslo
by the company owning the storage building.
This must be the first fall through a roof in Europe since Glanerbrug in
April 1990. (Not since 1969 as stated in the norwegian article.)
